Relocating to Bridgewater Town, MA -pros and cons?
Anyone else feel this way? It's a a smaller city city with about 28,669 people. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Worth the trade-offs? TIA! Night life is decent if you know the right spots.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a writer who relocated here from Atlanta about 5 years ago. The main reasons were a fresh start and weather.
Pros I've experienced:
- Nice parks and green spaces
- Decent public transit for the size
- Lots of new development happening
Cons that are real:
- Dating scene is rough
- Far from beaches/mountains
Financially, we've found it surprisingly good compared to where we came from. Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. Groceries are growing, gas is decent.
Socially, it's been a really good experience overall. Definitely worth checking out..
