Moving from Albuquerque to Coon Rapids next month

Hey everyone, I'm single, late 20s, and It's a a smaller city city with about 63,348 people. Median household income is $86,618, which feels pretty solid for the area. The median home value here is around $287,200, which seems about average. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Does this match your experience? Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The weather takes some getting used to. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The suburbs are where most families end up.

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is safety. there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. Worth doing your research before committing.

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