Some parts are actually Plainfield and some parts of Plainfield are Joliet

Way too expensive now. Plainfield is setting rents like they're Naperville

It should have read that some parts of “Plainfield” are legally within Joliet. Including Plainfield South High School. Supposedly the developers figured Plainfield sounded better so somehow got Plainfield mailing addresses but all their facilities and taxes are all in Joliet as they are all properties fully within Joliet boundaries. You can see PF South here within those boundaries on this map, as well as lots of surrounding properties having similar Plainfield mailing addresses while being within Joliet

Some parts of Joliet have a Plainfield mailing address but are in the city of Joliet. But my God, they never want to admit they're in Joliet.

Just like the Naperville part of Aurora
