Re: Started at just under 1M, now is 925. 4bd/2ba 2500sqft. A steal!

It does seem like the coasts have become a smidgen overpriced. For about the same money, you could buy this and have a bit more space. It's located in Morris, a nice town that has an NPR station, among other benefits. Note that the "easy access" to downtown chicago mentioned on Realtor.com means it's a 4+ hour round trip. I wonder what realtors consider not easy?
