    "Friends moved to Crete and I'm considering moving out of the congestion & crime of the city. I've known about Crete for 30 years but never really explored it. People jogging, walking their dogs, bicycling with their children. Each time I visit my friends, I don't want to go home. It's such a fabulous community, home prices are so amazing. Who needs the north shore, Oakbrook or Naperville??"
