Moving to Collinsville for work -advice?

The unemployment rate is 1.0%, which is pretty low. You can expect to pay around $340 for rent here. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The city has invested a lot in new development. Am I overthinking this? It's changing fast -some good, some not so much.

Came here for quality of life and stayed because I love the pace of life here. The dating scene is honestly tough and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem average.

I've been here 6 years and I love the pace of life here. The thing nobody mentions is food scene. It's pricey and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the walkability is legit. And if you're into mountain biking, this place is underrated.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The North side vs the Lakewood side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

Definitely worth checking out..
