Pros and cons of Cherryland after 9 years

Alright, I relocated for work and Average temperature is around 60--F, so the weather is moderate. The median home value here is around $654,200, which is pretty steep. You can expect to pay around $2,109 for rent here. Median household income is $84,858, which feels pretty solid for the area. The suburbs are where most families end up. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The food scene here is surprisingly good.

Pros:
- Great weather
- Low crime in most areas
- Diverse community
- Lots of new development
- Good internet infrastructure

Cons:
- Hot summers
- Cold winters
- Sprawl everywhere
- Limited cultural events
- Chain restaurants dominate
Has anyone dealt with this? There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The food scene here is surprisingly good.

It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The suburbs are where most families end up. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The weather takes some getting used to. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly.

My experience has been mostly positive. it's exactly what I was looking for. The only thing I'd watch out for is cost of living. Other than that, Definitely worth checking out..

Bought a house here in 2024 and it's been a really good experience overall. Property values have gone up significantly since then.
