Hey girls,
I was hopping for a little help. I might be moving to Chicago, Hoffman Estates, to be exact in the next few months. I have spent little time up there but I recently quit dancing and my new job may be giving me a promotion that will require me to go there.
I work for Sears Holding, so if you know where the Sears Corporate building is in Hoffman Estates is, that is where I will be working.
I will need to find a place and wanted to get a general idea of where I should look, what I can expect, and how much it should cost.
I am not positive about how much money I will be making so I do not really know what is in my financial budget. What I do know is that I am not going to move unless I can maintain my current standard of living, so I need to find out how much it will cost to sustain that.
I will want a nice home or apartment. I have a black lab, so it has to let me have a pet and it is almost a requirement that I have a small fenced in yard for her. It only needs to be one bedroom and I have a washer and dryer, so hookups would be great, but not necessary if not do-able.
I dont want to live far from work, but I dont want to worry about my windows getting shot out either, so if it is in an iffy area, I would rather live somewhere nice.
Like I said, I dont have to live in the best side of town, but I wont live with cockroaches, the ghetto or really bad neighborhoods.
Just somewhere quiet, comfortable, but reasonable.
I think you pretty much get the picture. I am not Richy Rich, but I am not the Beverly Hilbillies .. Lets go more for Growing Pains, Everybody Loves Raymond, King of Queens kind of people. lol.
Just normal.
What do you think?
Am I going to be able to do this?
About how much should I expect to pay for rent?
Is a yard a joke? (as in haha ... there are no yards under 3 grand a month?)
What are specifically some nice areas near the Sears Corporate building?
What are some general nice areas in Hoffman Estates?
ALl that stuff would be greatly appreciated if anyone knows. THanks a billion.
Lady
