Living in Bell -the reality

Been meaning to ask this. My partner and I are It's a a smaller city city with about 32,830 people. Average temperature is around 65--F, so the weather is moderate. You can expect to pay around $1,538 for rent here. With a population of 32,830, Bell is a smaller city. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The city has invested a lot in new development. What do you all think? Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The suburbs are where most families end up. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The weather takes some getting used to. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The weather takes some getting used to. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Property taxes are high but you get good services.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem surprisingly good.

I've been here 8 years and it's exactly what I was looking for. The thing nobody mentions is school system. It's stable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the food scene is legit. And if you're into rock climbing, this place is underrated.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The East side vs the Pine Hills side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..
