    Hi, I will be moving to Bloomington IL in the near future as my hubby will start working for State Farm. We will arrive with our toddler daughter who is gonna be 2 soon. I would like to ask for advice on a safe area to rent an apartment. Coming from LA, my hubby would not mind a commute but safety and proximity to parks, library, YMCA and other public areas is primary. Would prefer a rental community where Indians are around, any help would be much appreciated - thanks :)

    Thanks leesa, I will look for the apartments you told about. Do you know any apartments in Normal with Indian ppl around? Or is it better to live in Bloomington only? Do you know if Bayberry village apartments near the university is safe?

    Hi shree...can you tell me a bit more about Blm? Are there indian grocery stores in the Bloomington-Normal area? Also, can you tell me if there are activity centers for a 2 yr old kid, like libraries, YMCA, etc.?

    hi rushee,

    library is there. not sure about YMCA. u can always check it online. otherwise it has got good indian population. most of them work for state farm there is just 1 or 2 indian grocers as far as i know.
