Alright, I'm originally from Pittsburgh and Median household income is $142,207, which feels pretty solid for the area. The median home value here is around $679,400, which is pretty steep. With a population of 26,223, Burlington is a smaller city. The suburbs are where most families end up. The weather takes some getting used to. Is this normal for Burlington? Thanks for reading. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The city has invested a lot in new development. The suburbs are where most families end up. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting.

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, I have mixed feelings honestly. Feel free to reach out with questions..

I work in finance here and I have mixed feelings honestly. The job market for my field is average. Would recommend to anyone considering it..

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem improving.
I've been here 7 years and I genuinely enjoy living here. The thing nobody mentions is healthcare. It's developing and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the nightlife is legit. And if you're into surfing, this place is decent.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Midtown side vs the Lakewood side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
