Is Callaway worth it salary-wise?

First post here. The unemployment rate is 2.5%, which is pretty low. The city has invested a lot in new development. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want traffic, then yeah this place is great. But if public transit matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.

I'm a HR manager and I've found I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. The community is better than expected and there's always something going on.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 10 years ago from San Francisco and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in Downtown. It's challenging for what you get.

Jobs: The market is growing right now, especially in education. If you're in government you might struggle.

People: Generally improving. It took about 7 months to build a solid friend group.

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

Happy to answer more specific questions..

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 11 years ago from Boston and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: Lots of new construction which should help. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in North. It's tough for what you get.

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

People: Generally hit or miss. It took about 15 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: better than expected. Tons of options if you like Italian.
