A software CEO ditched Chicago for a Midwestern college town and said the move was 'huge upgrade' for his whole family
his as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Ravi Bhatt, 44, about his experience moving from Chicago to Bloomington, InMy wife and I spent almost 20 years in Chicago. But like many people during COVID, we started to think more broadly about where we wanted to live.

Due to our professions, my wife and I thought that university towns had a nice appeal. , home to Indiana University Bloomington. It's about 55 miles south of Indianapolis and nearly four hours away from Chicago. My wife and I attended undergrad in Bloomington, so we already had a bit of familiarity with it.
While we are paying more for our home in Bloomington than we were in Chicago, we have moved into a place that is more spacious. If we're talking about the square footage, the new home —a six-bed and six-bath — is a quarter of the cost and has enough space for grandparents to visit. A lot of people are stressed out about work and think life will become easier once they get out of the big city. However, most people will end up working remotely for their same employers.
In a city like Chicago, when you're trying to pick up kids and go on a playdate, logistics of moving a car around the city are never easy. It's nice to be able to walk out of your home and be directly in an urban environment. My children are getting more friendly kids' time in Bloomington.
