Hello, I've been here for 9 years and Median household income is $83,917, which feels pretty solid for the area. Homes are going for about $346,300 on average. With a population of 14,163, Collingswood is a small town. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The city has invested a lot in new development. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.

Pros:
- Affordable cost of living
- Good job market
- Growing food scene
- Easy commute

Cons:
- Traffic can be terrible
- Lack of diversity
- Limited cultural events
- Chain restaurants dominate

The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much.
