Cheapest neighborhoods in Clifton?

I relocated for work and With a population of 89,247, Clifton is a smaller city. Average temperature is around 55--F, so expect cold winters. Median household income is $99,003, which feels pretty solid for the area. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The suburbs are where most families end up. Should I be concerned? There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The weather takes some getting used to. The weather takes some getting used to. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable.

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

If you value public transit, you'll love it. The healthcare is genuinely excellent and I've found it was the best decision I ever made. My neighborhood (Meadowbrook) is growing and I feel safe walking around at night.

But if you're coming from Atlanta, be prepared for the culture shock. nightlife 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.
