Best things about Antioch that nobody talks about
As a 8-year resident, here are some things about Antioch that don't make it into the guides:
1. The farmers market on Saturday mornings is incredible
2. The library system is phenomenal
3. The local craft beer scene is legit
Give it a chance if you're considering it!

Rent tip: look for places in fall. Prices drop and there's more availability.

The job market has been improving lately. Several manufacturing companies moved in recently.

Downtown is overrated and overpriced. The suburbs offer way better value.

Respectfully disagree about the cost of living assessment. In my experience, there are good opportunities if you network.

If you can afford it, Midtown is the best place to live. Period.

Traffic is the worst part honestly. But if you live near work it's fine.
