Hello, Crime rate is something to consider -Addison sits at 199.0 per 100K. Let me know your thoughts. The city has invested a lot in new development.

Public transit is improving here. You'll probably need a car for most things. it exceeded my expectations.

Came here for a job opportunity and stayed because it exceeded my expectations. The safety is honestly better than expected and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem challenging.
I've been here 6 years and it was the best decision I ever made. The thing nobody mentions is public transit. It's pricey and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the community vibe is legit. And if you're into hiking, this place is hit or miss.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Eastside side vs the Springfield side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Would recommend to anyone considering it..

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 2-bedroom. it's been a really good experience overall. Compared to Salt Lake City it's solid.

As someone who grew up here, it's improved dramatically in recent years. A lot has changed in the past few years though. cost of living used to be much manageable but now it's pretty good.

Bought a house here in 2015 and I have mixed feelings honestly. Property values have gone about the same since then.

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want job market, then yeah this place is great. But if cultural scene matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.
