Curious what people think. You can expect to pay around $814 for rent here. Average temperature is around 49--F, so expect cold winters. With a population of 13,408, Canton is a small town. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. What do you all think? Thanks in advance! The weather takes some getting used to. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The food scene here is surprisingly good. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much.

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 4-bedroom. it's not perfect but it works for me. Compared to Boston it's excellent.

I've lived in The Heights for about 9 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. When I first moved here from Atlanta, I was surprised by nightlife. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Nice parks and green spaces
- Affordable housing options
- The safety scene is average
The downsides:
- Can feel isolated
- Bugs and humidity in summer
Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for retirees. Would recommend to anyone considering it..

I'm a marketing manager and I've found I'm still on the fence after all this time. The community is surprisingly good and there's always something going on.
