What surprised you most about Carson?
Longtime lurker here, It's a a smaller city city with about 93,523 people. Poverty rate is 6.3%, which is pretty low. Crime rate is something to consider -Carson sits at 482.9 per 100K. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Property taxes are high but you get good services.
Pros:
- Nice parks and trails
- Growing food scene
- Low crime in most areas
- Good schools
- Active local events
Cons:
- Limited nightlife
- High property taxes
- Homelessness issues downtown
- Not enough green space
