Is public transit usable in Ashland?

Military spouse here. The median home value here is around $573,700, which is pretty steep. Poverty rate is 7.1%, which is pretty low. Homes are going for about $573,700 on average. The unemployment rate is 3.2%, which is pretty low. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The suburbs are where most families end up. The city has invested a lot in new development. Should I be concerned? It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The weather takes some getting used to. The city has invested a lot in new development. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The suburbs are where most families end up. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, I genuinely enjoy living here. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want nightlife, then yeah this place is great. But if community vibe matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.
