Is it worth buying in Canton?

OK so It's a a small town city with about 13,408 people. The unemployment rate is 3.7%, which is pretty low. Property taxes are high but you get good services. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Anyone in a similar situation? Any help is appreciated. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, it's improved dramatically in recent years. Hope this helps!.

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. it was the best decision I ever made. Internet is excellent in most areas.

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

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.

If you value outdoor recreation, you'll love it. The safety is genuinely solid and I've found I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. My neighborhood (Old Town) is reasonable and I feel safe walking around at night.

But if you're coming from LA, be prepared for the culture shock. public transit is completely different here. And Can feel isolated.

My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.
