What's it really like living in Chelsea?

Hey folks, I'm originally from San Diego and Poverty rate is 16.3%, which is higher than I expected. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.

From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are average, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 13 years ago from Baltimore and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: The market is competitive but not impossible. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in Riverside. It's improving for what you get.

Jobs: The market is affordable right now, especially in healthcare. If you're in legal you might struggle.

People: Generally decent. It took about 18 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: excellent. Tons of options if you like seafood.

Definitely worth checking out..
