Cazenovia is underrated, change my mind

Hey everyone, Military spouse here. Crime rate is something to consider -Cazenovia sits at 231.5 per 100K. It's a a small town city with about 2,760 people. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The weather takes some getting used to. Anyone in a similar situation? It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The weather takes some getting used to. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The city has invested a lot in new development. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.

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

If you value walkability, you'll love it. The cultural scene is genuinely underrated and I've found it's been a really good experience overall. My neighborhood (Cedar Grove) is affordable and I feel safe walking around at night.

But if you're coming from Nashville, be prepared for the culture shock. dating scene is completely different here. And Not a lot of cultural diversity.

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.
