Worst things about Colton nobody talks about

Hey everyone, I'm retired and Crime rate is something to consider -Colton sits at 390.5 per 100K. Poverty rate is 12.1%, which is around average. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. What would you do? Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The city has invested a lot in new development. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.

I've been living here for 4 years and I'd say it's not perfect but it works for me. The housing market is decent compared to other places I've lived. Overall Would recommend to anyone considering it..

Weather-wise, the summers are challenging and winters are manageable. You get used to it after the first year.

As someone who grew up here, it's been a really good experience overall. A lot has changed in the past few years though. weather used to be much stable but now it's average.
