Hello, I'm a nurse at the local hospital and Household incomes average around $80,000 in Crosby. Poverty rate is 2.4%, which is pretty low. With a population of 1,116, Crosby is a small town. The unemployment rate is 2.2%, which is pretty low. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Has anyone dealt with this? Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level.

I work in manufacturing here and I have mixed feelings honestly. The job market for my field is challenging. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a nurse who relocated here from Salt Lake City about 2 years ago. The main reasons were a job opportunity and retirement.
Pros I've experienced:
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Active local events and festivals
- Diverse dining options
Cons that are real:
- Nightlife is limited
- Limited entertainment options
Financially, we've found it surprisingly good compared to where we came from. Older homes are where the value is. Groceries are manageable, gas is decent.
Socially, it exceeded my expectations. No regrets on my end..

Weather-wise, the summers are solid and winters are pricey. You get used to it after the first year.

The food scene here is average. Tons of great Italian places. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now.

Used to live on the Meadowbrook side, now on the Greenfield side. Completely different vibe. it's been a really good experience overall.
