Not sure if this has been asked before, but I grew up here but left for a while. Average temperature is around 47--F, so expect cold winters. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Is this normal for Comstock Park?

From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are excellent, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.

As someone who grew up here, the quality of life is solid. A lot has changed in the past few years though. job market used to be much pricey but now it's surprisingly good.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a accountant who relocated here from Pittsburgh about 4 years ago. The main reasons were weather and cost of living.
Pros I've experienced:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Good airport with direct flights
- Strong sense of community
Cons that are real:
- Limited public transit options
- Limited entertainment options
Financially, we've found it hit or miss compared to where we came from. If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. Groceries are stable, gas is surprisingly good.
Socially, I have mixed feelings honestly. Would recommend to anyone considering it..
