OK so My family moved here when I was a kid. Rent is about $2,715/month for a decent place. The median home value here is around $696,800, which is pretty steep. Crime rate is something to consider -Burke sits at 73.9 per 100K. Average temperature is around 54--F, so expect cold winters. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The weather takes some getting used to. The suburbs are where most families end up. Property taxes are high but you get good services. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.
