The parking lot is in good condition, having been recently patched, slurry coated, and re-striped, with numbered assigned parking spaces.

DeKalb's economic drivers, including Northwestern Medicine, General Electric, Monsanto, 3M, Nestlé, and Ferrara Candy Company, along with its status as a satellite city to Chicago, make it a solid investment.
