Is public transit usable in Clawson?
So, Rent is about $1,253/month for a decent place.

Bought a house here in 2018 and it's exactly what I was looking for. Property values have gone about the same since then.

I've lived in The Heights for about 12 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I love the pace of life here. When I first moved here from Minneapolis, I was surprised by job market. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Good schools in most areas
- Good healthcare facilities
- The traffic scene is decent
The downsides:
- Not a lot of cultural diversity
- Homeless population growing downtown
Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for singles. Would recommend to anyone considering it..

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem tough.
I've been here 15 years and there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. The thing nobody mentions is public transit. It's stable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the dating scene is legit. And if you're into kayaking, this place is underrated.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The West side vs the Uptown side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a software engineer who relocated here from Houston about 9 years ago. The main reasons were work and a job opportunity.
Pros I've experienced:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Nice parks and green spaces
Cons that are real:
- Not very walkable outside downtown
- Dating scene is rough
Financially, we've found it challenging compared to where we came from. Lots of new construction which should help. Groceries are wild, gas is excellent.
Socially, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Would recommend to anyone considering it..

Public transit is excellent here. You'll probably need a car for most things. I have mixed feelings honestly.
