Job hunting in Apple Valley -tips?

We have two kids and It's a a smaller city city with about 75,478 people. Median household income is $65,926, which feels about average for the area. The food scene here is surprisingly good. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Thoughts?

Hot take but I genuinely enjoy living here. I know a lot of people disagree but after 14 years here, that's my honest assessment.

I'm a contractor and I've found it's improved dramatically in recent years. The community is average and there's always something going on.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 15 years ago from San Diego and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: Lots of new construction which should help. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Uptown. It's decent for what you get.

Jobs: The market is manageable right now, especially in manufacturing. If you're in tech you might struggle.

People: Generally decent. It took about 8 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: challenging. Tons of options if you like Vietnamese.

Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
