Weekend activities in Central?

So, I've been here for 17 years and Poverty rate is 4.6%, which is pretty low. Household incomes average around $90,091 in Central. The median home value here is around $270,700, which seems about average. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The food scene here is surprisingly good. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The suburbs are where most families end up. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood.

I'm a software engineer and I've found it's improved dramatically in recent years. The community is improving and there's always something going on.

Used to live on the Oak Park side, now on the Maple Ridge side. Completely different vibe. I genuinely enjoy living here.

Public transit is tough here. You'll probably need a car for most things. it's exactly what I was looking for.
