Travel Info what is the burr ridge area of Illinois like? mcgraw hill offered me a job there....i'm in my 20's, just graduated college. do they have good night life? cheap apartments? do i need a car to live there? Travel Tips Lived right next door in Hinsdale for 20 years. Burr Ridge is a beautiful area. You'll need a car as public transportation is extremely limited. Good nightlife? Well, you'll be definitely leaving Burr Ridge for that -- but not far. But nearby. If I were you, I'd check out Oak Brook, Illinois for nightlife, restaurants, theaters, bar scenes (15 minutes away). Cheap living? Not really. Don't know where you're from, but you're in a major metropolitan area, so.... Best places to live for economy that are very close would be Westmont, Downers Grove, LaGrange (bit further). Check out the internet for Suburban Life Newspaper. That's a local and will give you an idea of apartment rents. I'm new on Yahoo and haven't pasted links yet, but your question interested me. Hope some of this is helpful. Oh, and, by the way, there are plenty of jobs in this market. So if you get here and decide to eave McGraw Hill, your options are wide open. Others Burr Ridge is an upscale western suburb of Chicago. They have many big houses that go for millions. They have several gated communities that some of the White Sox lived in. I think Bo Jackson still lives there. You won't find a cheap apartment there. There are some cheap apts in unincorporated Hinsdale. Hinsdale is another rich town but the south end (unincorporated) has many apts cheap. The nightlife you are looking for is in Chicago which you can take a train from Hinsdale into the city. 2 wks ago we changed the name to Brrr Ridge. http://www.crh.noaa.gov/forecast/mapclic... If your in your 20's and you want a nightlife you should live in the city. The city is a fantastic place to live and many people commute from the city into the suburbs for jobs. Yes, you will need a car. |
