Is Bethany getting better or worse?

First post here. Military spouse here. The unemployment rate is 3.1%, which is pretty low. Average temperature is around 53--F, so expect cold winters. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. What do you all think? Public transit needs a lot of work honestly.

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

I'm a HR manager who relocated here from Tampa about 15 years ago. The main reasons were a fresh start and quality of life.

Pros I've experienced:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Good schools in most areas
- Good airport with direct flights

Cons that are real:
- Urban sprawl is real
- Far from beaches/mountains

Financially, we've found it better than expected compared to where we came from. Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. Groceries are wild, gas is improving.

Socially, it's been a really good experience overall. Hope this helps!.
