Is Burnt Mills good for remote workers?

Hello, Just moved here 3 months ago and Median household income is $109,402, which feels pretty solid for the area. Average temperature is around 56--F, so the weather is moderate. Poverty rate is 4.0%, which is pretty low. Rent is about $1,838/month for a decent place. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. TIA! Property taxes are high but you get good services. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level.

I've lived in Lakewood for about 5 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. When I first moved here from Pittsburgh, I was surprised by weather. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- The cultural scene scene is better than expected

The downsides:
- Road conditions need improvement
- Far from beaches/mountains

Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for singles. Good luck with whatever you decide..
