Alright, My family moved here when I was a kid. It's a a small town city with about 5,829 people. The median home value here is around $120,400, which is actually reasonable. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Appreciate any input. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Property taxes are high but you get good services. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The city has invested a lot in new development.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a contractor who relocated here from Nashville about 8 years ago. The main reasons were school and weather.
Pros I've experienced:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Nice parks and green spaces
- Lots of new development happening
Cons that are real:
- Rising rent and home prices
- Limited shopping options
Financially, we've found it decent compared to where we came from. Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. Groceries are reasonable, gas is pretty good.
Socially, it's been a really good experience overall. Hope this helps!.

We moved here with our family and it was the best decision I ever made. Schools in Cedar Grove area are hit or miss. Kids love it here.

I'm a chef and I've found the quality of life is solid. The community is surprisingly good and there's always something going on.

Came here for retirement and stayed because I'm still on the fence after all this time. The walkability is honestly pretty good and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are underrated, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.

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