So, I'm a 51-year-old restaurant manager and The unemployment rate is 3.3%, which is pretty low. Rent is about $1,230/month for a decent place. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. What neighborhoods would you suggest?

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 4 years ago from LA and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Older homes are where the value is. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in Cedar Grove. It's challenging for what you get.
Jobs: The market is competitive right now, especially in real estate. If you're in construction you might struggle.
People: Generally average. It took about 11 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: challenging. Tons of options if you like Korean.
Happy to answer more specific questions..

We moved here with our family and I have mixed feelings honestly. Schools in Meadowbrook area are tough. Kids love it here.

As someone who grew up here, it's improved dramatically in recent years. A lot has changed in the past few years though. public transit used to be much reasonable but now it's improving.

Hot take but it's been a really good experience overall. I know a lot of people disagree but after 5 years here, that's my honest assessment.
