Freelancing from Coon Rapids -experience?

OK so I'm a remote worker and The unemployment rate is 2.8%, which is pretty low. Median household income is $86,618, which feels pretty solid for the area. Rent is about $1,418/month for a decent place. It's a a smaller city city with about 63,348 people. Crime rate is something to consider -Coon Rapids sits at 83.5 per 100K. Property taxes are high but you get good services. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The city has invested a lot in new development. Has anyone dealt with this? The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The food scene here is surprisingly good. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level.

I've lived in North for about 5 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

I love the pace of life here. When I first moved here from San Francisco, I was surprised by job market. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- The school system scene is hit or miss

The downsides:
- Rising rent and home prices
- Urban sprawl is real

Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for singles. Would recommend to anyone considering it..
