Anyone else love living in Calera?

Longtime lurker here, I'm a nurse at the local hospital and Crime rate is something to consider -Calera sits at 376.5 per 100K. Household incomes average around $82,441 in Calera. The food scene here is surprisingly good. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Appreciate any input. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level.

I'm a writer and I've found I have mixed feelings honestly. The community is average and there's always something going on.

Used to live on the South side, now on the Cedar Grove side. Completely different vibe. I love the pace of life here.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem challenging.

I've been here 5 years and it's been a really good experience overall. The thing nobody mentions is food scene. It's growing and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the dating scene is legit. And if you're into golfing, this place is excellent.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Pine Hills side vs the Lakewood side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

Feel free to reach out with questions..
