Realtor.com Ranks Home of WIU "A Least Expensive College Town"

MACOMB, IL - The recent naming of Macomb as one of the nation's top 10 least expensive college towns to live in by Realtor.com shines a light on the quality of life and the myriad of opportunities available to local residents and to Western Illinois University students.
Macomb was listed as number three on the Realtor.com list, which was based, at least partially, on the average cost of a median home locally (listed as $100,900). But a deeper look at the community and its offerings reveals a partnership between the City of Macomb and Western that enhances the opportunities available locally.
At the heart of that partnership are WIU President Jack Thomas and Macomb Mayor Mike Inman, and their administrative teams, who work together to improve the city's quality of life for existing residents and to attract new residents and students to town and to campus. Another component of that partnership is attracting and retaining businesses to the Macomb community.
