Raising a family in Compton -thoughts?

Random thought, Been living here since 2021. The median home value here is around $546,700, which is pretty steep. It's a a smaller city city with about 93,525 people. Household incomes average around $74,270 in Compton. The suburbs are where most families end up. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Should I be concerned? It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The city has invested a lot in new development. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The weather takes some getting used to. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The city has invested a lot in new development. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The city has invested a lot in new development.

Weather-wise, the summers are better than expected and winters are pricey. You get used to it after the first year.

Hot take but I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. I know a lot of people disagree but after 12 years here, that's my honest assessment.

Bought a house here in 2018 and there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. Property values have gone down slightly since then.

Hot take but I genuinely enjoy living here. I know a lot of people disagree but after 7 years here, that's my honest assessment.
