Hey everyone, It's a a small town city with about 6,830 people. Homes are going for about $107,800 on average. Household incomes average around $74,673 in Chester. You can expect to pay around $642 for rent here. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Let me know your thoughts. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a electrician who relocated here from Raleigh about 14 years ago. The main reasons were my partner's job and a fresh start.
Pros I've experienced:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
Cons that are real:
- Traffic during rush hour is rough
- Chain restaurants dominate
Financially, we've found it average compared to where we came from. Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. Groceries are wild, gas is decent.
Socially, it's not perfect but it works for me. Would recommend to anyone considering it..

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, I'm still on the fence after all this time. No regrets on my end..
