Are there any secrets we should know about though? Areas we don't want to live in? Problems you've encountered? Major negatives?
We're currently living in downtown Chicago (USA) so I'm not concerned about being crowded...
The only downside I've found is that since we don't want to ship our cat only to have him quarantined for 30 days we're going to have to leave him with my husband's parents

Thanks for your help!
