Cahokia,IL (California: rent, place to live, budget)

[scott53stan]

Hi;
I have a job interview for a company in Cahokia, Ill. I'm from California and will be spending a couple of days looking around. I guess my main question would be where would you guys be looking for a place to live.Should I be looking around Cahokia or cross over the river and look over there. If the job thing works out, I'm sure I would just rent for awhile. Any advise would be appreciated as I have never been to that part of the country.Thanks

It really will depend on what you're looking for. Illinois has some very nice, newer suburban areas that would certainly keep the commute to a minimum if that's what you're looking for.

If you want something more urban, you'll want to look on the MO side.

It would also be helpful to know your budget.

Let us know that stuff and we can certainly give you some more advice!
