Quick question about Cornelius

So, I'm a nurse at the local hospital and The unemployment rate is 2.4%, which is pretty low. It's a a smaller city city with about 32,009 people. Rent is about $1,571/month for a decent place. The median home value here is around $512,400, which is pretty steep. Household incomes average around $114,688 in Cornelius. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Property taxes are high but you get good services. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The food scene here is surprisingly good. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The city has invested a lot in new development. The weather takes some getting used to. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The suburbs are where most families end up. The suburbs are where most families end up. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The weather takes some getting used to. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 11 years ago from Boston and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: Lots of new construction which should help. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Greenfield. It's challenging for what you get.

Jobs: The market is established right now, especially in engineering. If you're in government you might struggle.

People: Generally pretty good. It took about 7 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: decent. Tons of options if you like Korean.

Definitely worth checking out..
