Which city is better to relocate Chicago or Indianapolis?

I am a mexican-american from Los Angeles, 23 years old looking to relocate to another state. Which of these cities has a better job market, housing, entertainment and public transportation. I plan to move sometime next year in May or June? how much money should I save?

I’ve spent lots of time in both cities…I live in Chicago and my wife went to Butler in Indianapolis & my sister moved to Indy about 10 years ago.

For what you’re asking you shoudl definitely move to Chicago. Indy has very minimal work hour related public transportation where Chicago has extensive, in most cases public transportation that runs 24 hours a day. It would be extremely difficult if not impossible to get around Indianapolis without a car.

- I think the job market is probably equal though Chicago is the larger city by far so there are more jobs here in Chicago.

- Entertainment. It’s not even a competition. Chicago wins hands down.

- Housing? In short, my sister in Indy owns a 4 bedroom, 2.5 bedroom home in Indianapolis, I rent a two bedroom house in Chicago. My monthly rent is more than what she pays to own her home every month.

That said, I do plan on moving my family to Indianapolis in the next five years. But I’m happy I lived in Chicago for so long, it’s a great city to be in your 20s and irresponsible in.

I’m not Mexican-American but I lived in a pretty hispanic neighborhood called Brighton Park on the Southwest side of the city. It’s serviced by the #62 Archer Bus which runs 24/7 and will get you downtown in about a half hour. I lived above a one bedroom apartment that was going for $600 a month flat with all utilities included. I think you can probably find something around that cost, but to be safe save for $750 a month, and one month’s rent for a security deposit. I would save at least $2000.
