Is Bloomingdale good for remote workers?

So, My family moved here when I was a kid. Rent is about $1,607/month for a decent place. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Am I overthinking this? Looking forward to hearing from you all. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Property taxes are high but you get good services.

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

I'm a project manager who relocated here from San Diego about 14 years ago. The main reasons were cost of living and a fresh start.

Pros I've experienced:
- Good schools in most areas
- Strong job market in several industries
- Active local events and festivals

Cons that are real:
- Traffic during rush hour is rough
- Urban sprawl is real

Financially, we've found it pretty good compared to where we came from. Older homes are where the value is. Groceries are wild, gas is average.

Socially, it's not perfect but it works for me. Definitely worth checking out..
