My sister and brother in law live in Minooka. Overall, they like it. It's not terribly diverse, but they do have some black and Hispanic neighbors. Because housing is generally cheap it attracts some lower income people, of all races, who create some nuisance issues. Loud fights, booming car stereos, minor drug dealing, that sort of thing. Commercial development has exploded the past couple of years. There is now a Jewel-Osco, Walgreens, plenty of restaurant chains. There really aren't any good quality places to eat though. Ten minutes away in Shorewood, there is plenty of big box shopping, Target, Petsmart, etc. In fifteen minutes, you can be at the Louis Joliet Mall, and find almost everything you need. They don't have kids, so I can't help you with the schools. Their main complaint is that being out in a cornfield, more or less, they need to drive everywhere, and there really aren't any higher end businesses nearby. On the other hand, they love the quick access to the forest preserves and state parks in the area.
