Top 5 things I love about Centerville

Curious what people think. I work in government and Poverty rate is 8.3%, which is pretty low. Homes are going for about $262,300 on average. It's a a small town city with about 24,815 people. With a population of 24,815, Centerville is a small town. The weather takes some getting used to. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The food scene here is surprisingly good. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.

We moved here with our family and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Schools in Downtown area are tough. Kids love it here.

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

Housing: It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in North. It's solid for what you get.

Jobs: The market is reasonable right now, especially in retail. If you're in real estate you might struggle.

People: Generally solid. It took about 16 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: decent. Tons of options if you like Asian.

Would recommend to anyone considering it..
