Illinois Exodus! People are leaving Illinois and leaving Chicago for many reasons. Iowa City, Iowa is only about a 3.5 hour drive from the Chicago area and is a popular relocation destination for Illinoisians looking for a nearby location with lower property taxes, four seasons and a familiar midwestern vibe. If you’re thinking about leaving Illinois, moving out of Chicago, retiring in Iowa, or moving to Iowa City because its a growing, dynamic community, this is the video for you!

Kerri Jonikas, Chicago area Realtor® with HomeSmart Realty Group, and I talk about some of reasons people are choosing to hop the Mississippi and move from Illinois to Iowa, some of the differences between the Chicago area and Iowa City area, as well as potential challenges and surprises in the transition between the two neighboring states.
