So, I'm a teacher here and With a population of 8,163, Downingtown is a small town. The unemployment rate is 1.8%, which is pretty low. Median household income is $82,292, which feels pretty solid for the area. Average temperature is around 53--F, so expect cold winters. The city has invested a lot in new development.

It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood.
