Why I chose Belvedere Park over bigger cities
So, I grew up here but left for a while. Homes are going for about $266,000 on average. It's a a small town city with about 14,422 people. Poverty rate is 12.0%, which is around average. Average temperature is around 62--F, so the weather is moderate. Crime rate is something to consider -Belvedere Park sits at 148.2 per 100K. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting.
Pros:
- Affordable cost of living
- Diverse community
- Easy commute
- Good airport connections
Cons:
- Cold winters
- Not very walkable
- Lack of diversity
- Far from major airports
- Homelessness issues downtown

Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The weather takes some getting used to. The suburbs are where most families end up. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.
