Moving to Crestwood with kids -good idea?

Hi all, I grew up here but left for a while. Rent is about $1,300/month for a decent place. Median household income is $68,686, which feels about average for the area. You can expect to pay around $1,300 for rent here. With a population of 10,622, Crestwood is a small town. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The suburbs are where most families end up. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The suburbs are where most families end up. Property taxes are high but you get good services.

Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 6 years ago from Atlanta and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: The market is competitive but not impossible. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in Sunset. It's challenging for what you get.

Jobs: The market is manageable right now, especially in real estate. If you're in marketing you might struggle.

People: Generally surprisingly good. It took about 12 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: tough. Tons of options if you like farm-to-table.

Feel free to reach out with questions..
