Worst things about Akwesasne nobody talks about

I've lived in Cedar Grove for about 5 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

I'm still on the fence after all this time. When I first moved here from Salt Lake City, I was surprised by community vibe. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- The housing market scene is solid

The downsides:
- Limited high-paying job options
- Not a lot of cultural diversity

Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for remote workers. No regrets on my end..

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 10 years ago from San Diego and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in Springfield. It's pretty good for what you get.

Jobs: The market is competitive right now, especially in education. If you're in marketing you might struggle.

People: Generally tough. It took about 12 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: tough. Tons of options if you like Southern.

No regrets on my end..

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is pet-friendliness. I have mixed feelings honestly. Worth doing your research before committing.
