📌Hey everyone, it’s Tony! If you want my FREE RELOCATION GUIDE with information on all things about INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA you can download it here: connect.buyorsellrealestatenow.com/indianapolisrelocationguide
I'm originally from Chicago, and I moved to GA for a job in healthcare. I don't like it here, and I'm looking to relocate. I'm considering Indiana and Kentucky. I was considering Oklahoma, visited, and it's a no for me. I've lived in the suburbs of Tennessee, but I didn't like it either. I've come to realize I'm a Midwestern, not a Southerner. I'll keep this video in mind if I decide to relocate to Indiana. Thanks for sharing.
Yep I understand what you saying I'm from Chicago currently I'm in phionex AZ nice weather real hot but u get used to it no nature out here mountains sun and planted trees unless u go up to flagstaff real midwest feel snow nice tourist spots and getaways for family but like u said I'm a Midwestern good luck out there
I grew up in a suburb of Chicago. I have lived in Indy since 1996. I think, generally, your video was good and accurate. I would emphasize/add a few of things. Chicago dwarfs Indy in terms of size and scope in terms of everything. If you like to party and you are less than age 40 then stay in Chicago. If you have kids and are looking for family life then come to Indy. One thing you didn't mention which to me is a salient difference between the two cities is Lake Michigan itself. Chicago being on a huge body of water (ocean-like) is a huge draw and is something we don't have in Indy. I will say that over the past 28 years (the length of time I have lived in Indy) I have seen Indy grow tremendously so there is, I think, a lot more going on in the region now.
That's a great point! Cost of living and salaries can vary significantly from state to state, impacting affordability. In Indiana, while housing costs might be lower, other factors like income taxes and salaries for professions like teaching play a big role in overall financial health. How do you think these factors affect people's decisions to move or stay in a certain area?
@@jankorealtygroup yes, so many factors. Also the lower cost houses are great in many ways, but also means less equity when paid for, maybe making tough to move elsewhere if market has higher priced housing. Trade off everywhere.
One thing that an individual would save on by moving to Indianapolis is annual property taxes. Property taxes within the City of Chicago are expected to explode due to the public employee pension crisis. A 34 billion dollar deficit in the pension system.

Great points John! I appreciate it!
Thanks for sharing! 👍
The costs of houses are relative, school teachers make $50K in Indiana, higher state income taxes and more
