Is Caldwell worth moving to in 2026?

Been living here since 2005. Crime rate is something to consider -Caldwell sits at 350.4 per 100K. The median home value here is around $322,100, which seems about average. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Has anyone dealt with this?

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 8 years ago from Chicago and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: The market is competitive but not impossible. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Greenfield. It's challenging for what you get.

Jobs: The market is stable right now, especially in finance. If you're in retail you might struggle.

People: Generally average. It took about 5 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: hit or miss. Tons of options if you like Mediterranean.

Feel free to reach out with questions..

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. it's not perfect but it works for me. Internet is surprisingly good in most areas.

As someone who grew up here, it's been a really good experience overall. A lot has changed in the past few years though. healthcare used to be much manageable but now it's tough.

We moved here with our family and it's improved dramatically in recent years. Schools in Oak Park area are underrated. Kids love it here.

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 4-bedroom. I love the pace of life here. Compared to New York it's solid.
