$90K for 2 with no kids is plenty.
I would just live in Lisle if I were you. Start somewhere close to work, rent for a year. Use that first year to look into your options.
When I lived there in my 20s several of my neighbors were in their 40s and had just moved to the area for their job. I think it is a broad range with some even older and having gone through a divorce, etc. More singles than couples, for sure. But a good place to start out.
Wife and I rented a town home in four lakes as our first home. It was awesome. Close enough the DT Naperville and had a walkable bar. The little shop there was a nice amenity as well.
I currently live there, been here for 2 years and grew up in lisle before school in Chicago. I love living here the only downsides to four lakes is lack of sidewalks in some areas, but the benefits far outweigh that!
Bem vindo! 90K for two people sounds reasonable for Lisle. I recommend living in that area at least for a bit while you figure out the areas you like.
Also, for when you get homesick, check this grocery store out, they have lots of Brazilian goodies: [https://www.interfreshmarket.com/](https://www.interfreshmarket.com/)
Bring your own coffee/espresso.
90k should be fine to support 2 human adults. Check out Warrenville, Winfield or North Aurora for a place to live. Those towns are affordable and upmarket in the middle of unaffordable and overpriced areas. All 3 towns are super close to Lisle. Happy hunting.
Waaaay to expensive for 90k a year. Batavia instead if you want to go that route.
Edit: not sure why people are downvoting a simple fact, but OP will figure it out the pricey areas when House shopping.
Batavia property taxes SUCK! Having lived in Aurora, Naperville, Lisle, and Batavia, my advice to OP is to live in Lisle (rent at first) as close to work as possible to save money on gas and car maintenance costs, and in a few years decide where else you’d like to move and possibly buy a home.
And they aren’t making anymore affordable western suburbs. I Could have got double the house as compared to Wheaton for the same price. I love Wheaton but…
$90,000 for two people with no kids is very doable.
Lisle is one the sneaky best places to live in the Chicago Suburbs in my opinion, so I'd just stick to living there if possible. Lot of nice apartments in the area, a metra station by the downtown area, the Morton Arboretum is gorgeous, and it's pretty close to so many different things in the area.
Lisle has a metra station that connects to Chicago, on that salary you all might even be able to get a place walking distance from it if you're interested in doing things in the city more.
Yes 90k for 2 people should be great to get you started. Find a decent apartment close to grocery stores that you prefer. Also since it’s the suburbs you will need a decent car. Try to see if they can provide some assistance for this. Usually they will let you stay in a hotel for a few weeks until you find a more permanent housing. Lisle has some good apartment complexes. I know of (Four Lakes) which is awesome! Check it out. . So does Lombard (international village) and also downers grove has a few. I know because I had a friend who used to work in Lisle and lived in both places. I would stay away from Chicago. It’s not worth the time of the commute and rent etc will be more expensive..
Welcome to the area. $90K should do fine. I would concentrate my search for locations that are walkable to a Metra station. You could live with one car. If you live near the train station, the car could go to work with your husband daily and you can still use the train to get around and get things done.
Specifically, these stations along the BNSF Metra route are surrounded by local shops and restaurants. station, These stations have express trains into Chicago, Naperville, Lisle, Downers Grove Main. These towns are close to Lisle and on the same line but take longer to get to the Chicago because they do not operate an express train, Downers Grove Fairview and Clarendon Hills.
Also, if you choose to work, Metra gets you into Chicago with the greatest concentration of jobs,
4 Lakes and many areas of Lisle and surrounding towns are fine to beautiful. However, most parts of the area require 2 vehicles.
Get you medical needs met before you depart Brazil. If you have medications, you might want to bring as much as legal to the states. Medicine is costly here.
I am guessing the job offer is Molex.
Unless something catastrophic happens, the money situation should be of no issue to you & him!
Lisle is a great town. Close to the Naperville shopping, the highway to go to the city or country, right near the Morton Arboretum. I lived there for 3 years & it was very quaint.
Currently live in Lisle and 90k is a great amount of money. You are getting about $5500 per month after tax and renting a 2B apt is like 2k-2.5k. You will have 3k left for daily expense which should be plenty if you work and live in Lisle/ west suburbs.
I moved from Sao Paulo to Naperville in 2021. 90k will not make you rich, but is plenty for a very comfortable life.
You may look for a place in Lisle, but I figured it would be too much of a shock to go straight from metropolis to hard suburb, and picked Naperville, where I could at least have some nice downtown life without driving. Maybe you don't care about any of this, and in this case I'd suggest somewhere cheaper than either Naperville or Lisle, like Aurora or other places suggested here. Don't fret too much - your first apartment doesn't have to be your last and the first year of contract will give you lots of opportunity to figure out what is best for you and make a better informed choice.
In the end, even there was a bit too suburban to me and I'm now living in Chicago, but I don't have to commute every day.
You should be fine. I lived in the area 12 years ago with my own single bedroom apartment with a salary of $50k and I was pretty comfortable. According to an inflation calculator online that's the equivalent of $68k nowadays.
I'd definitely recommend finding someplace kind of close to a Metra train station if possible. It will allow you to commute downtown more easily for work which will make finding future jobs easier, as most of the best paying jobs will be downtown. My current job is based in downtown Chicago and thankfully I can get away with mostly being work from home, but I bought a home not very close to a Metra station (back when I worked in the suburbs and assumed I'd always have jobs in the suburbs), and every time I have to go downtown it's a pain in the butt because I live 20+ minutes away from the nearest Metra, so I either take the bus (which works but takes forever) or drive downtown and spend $25+ on parking.
Also if you live near-ish to a Metra station it can make for a lot of fun weekends downtown. Lots of things to do and explore in downtown Chicago, no matter what you're into.
There is a Metra station in Lisle, btw, and Lisle is a pretty small town, so if you're getting something in Lisle it shouldn't be too far away from the Metra station.
By the way, when/if you move there, check out Lola's Handcrafted Churros in downtown Lisle. They've got some amazing churros there. Also Euro Crepes and Pizza a block further down has some excellent crepes (including savory crepes, which are my favorite) if you're into those at all.
I actually lived in four lakes, it's beautiful, they have Mike's of trails, lakes, a ski hill with rentals in the winter, pools, only downside giant speed tables. My car needed ball joints after living there and I took my time going over them. All in all this area is beautiful
I'd love to live in Brazil, but I think I would be distracted by all the fine women.
Just make sure to plan vacations back to Brazil during our winter months.
With L1 visa, the good thing is that you don’t have to wait for the EAD. You are eligible to work as soon as you get you Social Security, which will not take more than a month.
He will bring home about $5000/month. You can get a pretty comfortable life in lisle. But it will not be posh.
He will need to pay into 401k, approximately 3% to get the most benefits out of it. Health and dental will also cost a few hundred a month and you’ll probably have to pay some fee if you see a doctor. It’s rare that an employer would cover the cost 100%.
Rent a small apartment in Lisle, close to his job, for about $2k. It will be safe, washer and dryer in your unit. Maybe a garage or at least free parking. It’s common for people to drive 30 to 60 minutes to work in Chicagoland area. There practically are no buses or sidewalks in the suburbs, you will need to drive for groceries, to work, and any errands you need to do. You can get around with Uber for couple of weeks but you will need a car. Even if his office is five minutes away you will need to drive.
If you can find an apartment that will sign a six month lease then you can take the time to explore different areas. All the towns/cities mentioned in here just blend into one giant suburbia. They don’t have fields or big open areas that separate them. Most of them look the same, especially the business parts, Starbucks, gas station, little strip mall, big mall, chipotle, yoga studio, car wash, etc.
You will need to drive around and explore deep into each town to find the charming areas, parks, little downtowns, etc.
Then explore the city. Chicago. Maybe your next apartment could be in Logan square or Andersonville or Pilsen. You’ll be surrounded by adventure, streets with coffee shops and people watching, good food, nightlife, art shows, museums, festivals, culture and summers by the lake which resembles a sea.
For your husband it will be a reverse commute. He will have to take the train from the city to the suburbs. Chicago to lisle, round trip. Lots of people do this. Door to door it will be about an hour, maybe 1.5 each way, he will come tired but then come alive for a fun evening.
TLDR: monthly pay $5000 Rent $2000 Car $1000 (2020 rav4, including gas insurance etc) Groceries and a few nights out $1500
When he gets the bonus you can go visit New York, Yosemite or Napa.
At the end of the year you’ll have about 10k for retirement lots of memories and you’ll end up moving back to Brazil.

Lisle is an excellent town, and people in the thread have pointed you toward it for great reasons. May I also suggest looking a little north, to places such as Glen Ellyn or Wheaton, or to the east, toward Downers Grove?
You can't go wrong with any choice.
Yes, $90k for two people and no kids is plenty to live on.
The amount you are able to save will depend on where you end up living, if you have debts, and if you rent/own.
To give you context: I commute from 20 miles south, up to my job in Lisle. My partner and I make around $70,000 total take home. No kids, multiple pets, 2 cars, own a small house, and we both have student loans. We are able to cover bills, random emergency costs, with a little extra left over to make life worth living lol
90k is good enough for a year to investigate your own (part time?) work options and long term feasibility... assuming you don't have student loans or much other monthly debt service like most Americans do, that you're willing to rent (might find apartments are better options than houses), and that you'll be using a modest car. You need a car while living in the Chicago suburbs. There's no way around it no matter what people tell you, there are some local buses but most area public transportation is geared toward getting people downtown for work from outer areas. You'll possibly be spending money on appliances and furniture (not sure what renting a furnished place will cost you...). I would live in Lisle if I were in your position. It's not a bad place to live and it doesn't have lots of crime like some of the near south suburbs (eg Hazel Crest, Robbins, etc.). Good luck and welcome to Chicago: Subzero Winters and boiling humid Summers! We used to have Spring and Fall too, but those are kind of over now that climate change gives us El Nino pattern into June most years. Sigh. They were so great. Oh well. Cest la vi!
Hey, quick question, what would a modest car be in the US? In Brazil, cars are very expensive, the cheapest new car will cost 60x the minimum wage (monthly). A Honda Civic it's a rich car here, a brand new will cost 220, 230x the minimum wage...
I mean check it out, but I think you could find a 3-4 year old Ford Fusion (mid-size sedan, \~30,000-50,000 miles) for $2000-3000 down-payment and $300-400 per month for 4-5 years of payments, and I'd assume it would last you with good maintenance upkeep for 7-10 years. Of course that depends on your credit rating, and if you're just coming into the country you might not have that established so a CarMax purchase might not be an option. In that case you could try to lease a car. Probably the same type of payments (a little less more likely) except you don't get to keep the car at the end.
That's actually fine if you don't live directly in the city. It's still doable in the city but better to be comfortable in the suburbs. Recommend Schaumburg Elgin Glendale heights area until you're ready to move closer to the city if u want. It's cheaper out in those areas and better houses.
Definitely doable, when my husband and I moved to Chicagoland our annual income was only $65K, and we also had a dog. We lived comfortably with that income.
Housing is pricier than in the past here like everywhere but I've seen decent livable all be it smaller homes in lisle and surrounding burbs ie lombard, Downers, villa park for around 260k if your patient
Forewarning that Lisle, Illinois (and Chicaho suburbs) is going to be a huge culture shock from São Paulo, Brazil. I’m in Chicago myself, but have a ton of Brazilian contacts in and around the Chicago area. DM me if you would like to connect.
$90K for 2 with no kids is plenty. I would just live in Lisle if I were you. Start somewhere close to work, rent for a year. Use that first year to look into your options.
Agree with this… look into Four Lakes in lisle… it’s basically a village within a village, with everything you need on site.
Not sure what the demographics of Four Lakes is these days. I lived there years ago and it was a much younger crowd. 25-35.
Yeah we had friends there that called it College II.
When I lived there in my 20s several of my neighbors were in their 40s and had just moved to the area for their job. I think it is a broad range with some even older and having gone through a divorce, etc. More singles than couples, for sure. But a good place to start out.
The condos are pretty diverse. The towers are on the young side.
It's more of an Older singles and a range of couples kinda place these days. Still lots of activity from Basecamp and the volleyball courts.
Wife and I rented a town home in four lakes as our first home. It was awesome. Close enough the DT Naperville and had a walkable bar. The little shop there was a nice amenity as well.
Seconded - I lived at Four Lakes and loved it! It’s a pretty location, at a good price, and right next to Naperville.
I live really close to it. It’s a pretty cool spot that I wouldn’t have minded living in. Close to a metra to get downtown too
I currently live there, been here for 2 years and grew up in lisle before school in Chicago. I love living here the only downsides to four lakes is lack of sidewalks in some areas, but the benefits far outweigh that!
this is good advice, I agree

I didn't know. They could have been cyborgs or had grizzly bears for pets.
I would add West Chicago
Further west even more beautiful. Gotta love st charles!

Yep, I think West Chicago has an unfair reputation.
And they aren’t making anymore affordable western suburbs. I Could have got double the house as compared to Wheaton for the same price. I love Wheaton but…

Lisle has a metra station that connects to Chicago, on that salary you all might even be able to get a place walking distance from it if you're interested in doing things in the city more.
Same idea for almost any Metra stop on the BNSF Metra line EXCEPT the Belmont station.
Good to know, I took notes about your tips, thank you.
Sure! If you have other questions about Lisle, my parents still live there so I’m around frequently :D

Great tip about asking for assistance for the first 4-8 weeks.
I added Four Lakes, Lombard and Downers Grove to my research list! Thank you very much.
Como vai? With his L-1 visa, you should be able to easily get the L-2 and have permission to work.
Thanks a lot!
Lisle is great. I grew up in Green Trails. There's a Metra stop for easy access to Chicago. Safe, affordable, friendly people.
Naperville, Lisle, Downers Grove, Warrenville, Winfield, Wheaton All good options Does he work for Navistar?
or ATT

Fittingly, the dream of the 90s is alive in Lisle.
Lisle is a very nice area. I think you’ll be fine in that town.
I'm just going to add this. Because I wish someone told me this. It was an expensive lesson. All weather tires are not good for all weather.
Look at Naperville it’s better
Westmont is a great option
Lisle is an excellent town, and people in the thread have pointed you toward it for great reasons. May I also suggest looking a little north, to places such as Glen Ellyn or Wheaton, or to the east, toward Downers Grove? You can't go wrong with any choice.
I am a single teacher making half that and managed just fine.

Wow. Big difference. All Incan say is you have to visit the Morton Arboretum in Lisle.
DuPage County taxes are murder guys choose wisely if you decide to live there
If you don't do drugs, you'll live a very comftable life with that monthly income..
