Best kept secrets of Discovery Bay, CA
Hi all, I'm retired and The unemployment rate is 5.1%, which is about average. Average temperature is around 64--F, so the weather is moderate. The median home value here is around $789,400, which is pretty steep. Property taxes are high but you get good services. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.
Pros:
- Low crime in most areas
- Lots of new development
- Walkable downtown
Cons:
- Sprawl everywhere
- Limited dining options
- Limited cultural events
- Chain restaurants dominate
- Homelessness issues downtown
