I'm single, late 30s, and Household incomes average around $53,705 in Brainerd. Crime rate is something to consider -Brainerd sits at 468.4 per 100K. The unemployment rate is 5.2%, which is about average. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The weather takes some getting used to. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks for reading. The city has invested a lot in new development. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Property taxes are high but you get good services. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much.

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is walkability. the quality of life is solid. Worth doing your research before committing.

Public transit is solid here. You'll probably need a car for most things. I'm still on the fence after all this time.
