Hi,
I will be moving to Deerfiled,IL in a week and need some advice in regards to accommodation. I am a Indian girl(from northern part of India) and would like to know if there is any good, safe Indian communities near by Deerfield(or within 15-20 miles). Also, it will be very helpful if someone can let me know the average rent in nearby areas.
I would perfer staying in some area where we have walmart, indian store nearby.

Thanks in advance.
Priya

There are Desi communities in Skokie, IL, Arlington Heights, IL, Schaumburg, IL and Buffalo Grove, IL and all of those communities are safe. Not sure about rents as I haven't rented in many years.

You may want to join one of the meetup groups that are close by.

The area around Devon in Chicago has a vibrant restaurant and shopping scene.

There is no Indian community around Deerfield. As the previous poster stated your best bet is Chicago/Devon Ave. which is 20+ miles away and an hour or so away during rush hour traffic if you have a car, addtional time needed if taking public transportation (which will be complicated- multiple bus and/or train). There is no Wal-Mart in Deerfield (closest is 5+ miles away in Buffalo Grove and Vernon Hills).

Bottom line is Indian Community, Walmart, and Deerfield is a difficult combination. Good Luck.

P.S rents range in the $1000-$1500 range in Deefield for a 1 bedroom. If your lucky, maybe a bit cheaper for an older apartment on Waukegan Rd.
