What's it really like living in Chestnut Ridge?

First post here. Median household income is $113,750, which feels pretty solid for the area. The unemployment rate is 2.0%, which is pretty low. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Anyone in a similar situation? It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Property taxes are high but you get good services.

It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The weather takes some getting used to. The suburbs are where most families end up. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.

I've been living here for 9 years and I'd say there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. The traffic is tough compared to other places I've lived. Overall Definitely worth checking out..
