What I wish I knew before living in Clifton Gardens

Alright, Homes are going for about $297,900 on average. The suburbs are where most families end up. The city has invested a lot in new development. Am I overthinking this? Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.

Used to live on the Old Town side, now on the West side. Completely different vibe. there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.

If you value school system, you'll love it. The cost of living is genuinely excellent and I've found it's been a really good experience overall. My neighborhood (Pine Hills) is developing and I feel safe walking around at night.

But if you're coming from Boston, be prepared for the culture shock. food scene is completely different here. And Limited public transit options.

My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.

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