Thinking about relocating to Anderson from Boston
First post here. I'm single, late 30s, and Rent is about $965/month for a decent place. Is this normal for Anderson?

Weather-wise, the summers are better than expected and winters are affordable. You get used to it after the first year.

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want dating scene, then yeah this place is great. But if pet-friendliness matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.

Bought a house here in 2020 and I genuinely enjoy living here. Property values have gone down slightly since then.

I've lived in Uptown for about 9 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it's exactly what I was looking for. When I first moved here from Charlotte, I was surprised by walkability. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Nice parks and green spaces
- Strong job market in several industries
- The healthcare scene is solid
The downsides:
- Urban sprawl is real
- Far from beaches/mountains
Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for retirees. Would recommend to anyone considering it..

Hot take but I genuinely enjoy living here. I know a lot of people disagree but after 9 years here, that's my honest assessment.

I've lived in Midtown for about 13 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I have mixed feelings honestly. When I first moved here from New York, I was surprised by weather. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Decent public transit for the size
- The housing market scene is surprisingly good
The downsides:
- Limited shopping options
- Homeless population growing downtown
Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for couples. Would recommend to anyone considering it..

As someone who grew up here, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. A lot has changed in the past few years though. food scene used to be much growing but now it's decent.
