Anyone else love living in Babbitt?

First post here. Born and raised here. Homes are going for about $96,000 on average. Average temperature is around 37--F, so bundle up in winter. Property taxes are high but you get good services. What are your go-to spots?

I've been living here for 15 years and I'd say the quality of life is solid. The cultural scene is pretty good compared to other places I've lived. Overall Would recommend to anyone considering it..

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a data analyst who relocated here from Raleigh about 5 years ago. The main reasons were quality of life and my partner's job.

Pros I've experienced:
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Strong job market in several industries
- Close to major attractions

Cons that are real:
- Limited shopping options
- Limited entertainment options

Financially, we've found it decent compared to where we came from. Older homes are where the value is. Groceries are reasonable, gas is tough.

Socially, it's improved dramatically in recent years. Hope this helps!.
