Is Antioch good for remote workers?

Been meaning to ask this. Military spouse here. Rent is about $2,241/month for a decent place. Homes are going for about $607,400 on average. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Does this match your experience? The suburbs are where most families end up. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The weather takes some getting used to. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The food scene here is surprisingly good. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The food scene here is surprisingly good. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The food scene here is surprisingly good.

I've lived in South for about 8 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it's not perfect but it works for me. When I first moved here from Seattle, I was surprised by public transit. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- The school system scene is better than expected

The downsides:
- Limited high-paying job options
- Road conditions need improvement

Overall I'd rate it 8/10 for singles. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

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