Moving to Schaumburg?

[DA H.N.I.C.]

What's up everyone?
I'm currently living in Minnesota and it looks like we will be moving to Schaumburg for my wife's job. I know absolutely NOTHING about the city.
Can anyone give us some insight as to what to expect?
We appreciate any info you can supply.
Thanks

Schaumburg is pretty nice. It's surrounded by other fairly nice 'burbs too. Where will she be working? If it's downtown Chicago, the commute won't exactly be short.

In Schaumburg at Pepsi Americas

Welcome neighbor. Schaumburg has a lot to offer from shopping (Woodfield Mall nearby), Resturants (A lot of everything not too far away) and nightlife (Clubs, bars, etc.). Best of luck with the move.

Schaumburg is a nice area to be in, quite a few M&G's in that area. Outside of downtown Chicago, probably the next biggest "hub" entertainment wise.

I grew up in Schaumburg, lived there for about 13 years. Mom still lives there. Very very busy, traffic is terrible, houses are expensive. Good luck out there. My Dad moved us to IL. from Minnesota, he grew up out there. Came here from Rochester.

Being from Minn I have to ask... do you hunt?

If so, you may want to look for a place not far from Shaumburg, but in DuPage County. Living in Cook county with firemarms of any sort can be problematic.

They have a Ted's Montana Grill out there............can't be all bad!!



You'll love it!!

Thanks for the info everyone. No I don't hunt but EVERYONE I know does. Got 3 young children so guns is not an issue. We will probably be down there in the next 2-3 weeks on a house hunting trip, and it sounds like a nice, quiet? place to be. Think I'm gonna let the company ship the Mag down there when we move and drive the wife's Malibu. As for the house hunting trip the company pays for all that in their relocation package so I'll see if they will provide someone to show us the area just to get a feel for it.
As for the M & G's I'd love to find out where and when the next one is. Maybe we'll be in town by then.
Again, thank you all

If you're here in the next couple of weeks, sounds like the perfect time to have a sort-of mid-winter M&G.
Schaumburg is pretty quiet overall, and as mentioned earlier, the houses aren't cheap and the property taxes pretty much suck too.

yeah, perfect timing! and everything else is accurate as well...except for when ekaz drives thru with his cutouts open...

Nice area, I have some friends that live out in that area.

Very nice area, very populated area with lots to do. Good luck on the move. Maybe Pepsi will sponsor your next meet.

Alright, here's the update: We finally found ourselves a house in Algonquin, IL. It's about 30min NW of Schaumburg and about 1HR NW of Chicago. We are really excited about it and are currently looking up as much info about the area as possible. Any info you guys could give us would greatly help us out as well. So thank you all in advance!!!!!
