Working remotely from Addison

Alright, I'm a college student here and Median household income is $87,587, which feels pretty solid for the area. The suburbs are where most families end up. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. What are your go-to spots? Cheers. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly.

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is weather. it's not perfect but it works for me. Worth doing your research before committing.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.

If you value cultural scene, you'll love it. The community vibe is genuinely underrated and I've found it's been a really good experience overall. My neighborhood (Fairview) is competitive and I feel safe walking around at night.

But if you're coming from Baltimore, be prepared for the culture shock. safety is completely different here. And Limited public transit options.

My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.

Weather-wise, the summers are solid and winters are reasonable. You get used to it after the first year.
