Anyone else love living in Aptos Hills-Larkin Valley?
Anyone else feel this way? I'm single, late 30s, and Poverty rate is 1.1%, which is pretty low.

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. it's been a really good experience overall. Internet is hit or miss in most areas.

Public transit is solid here. You'll probably need a car for most things. it exceeded my expectations.

Hot take but it's not perfect but it works for me. I know a lot of people disagree but after 3 years here, that's my honest assessment.

I work in manufacturing here and it's exactly what I was looking for. The job market for my field is tough. Definitely worth checking out..

I'm a writer and I've found there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. The community is tough and there's always something going on.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a teacher who relocated here from Salt Lake City about 7 years ago. The main reasons were a job opportunity and weather.
Pros I've experienced:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- Lots of new development happening
Cons that are real:
- Limited high-paying job options
- Far from beaches/mountains
Financially, we've found it challenging compared to where we came from. Lots of new construction which should help. Groceries are stable, gas is average.
Socially, it's improved dramatically in recent years. Definitely worth checking out..
