Cost of living reality check -Drexel Hill

First post here. Average temperature is around 56--F, so the weather is moderate. Crime rate is something to consider -Drexel Hill sits at 870.1 per 100K. Rent is about $1,312/month for a decent place. It's a a smaller city city with about 30,015 people. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The city has invested a lot in new development. What would you do? The suburbs are where most families end up. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The weather takes some getting used to. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The city has invested a lot in new development. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The weather takes some getting used to. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.

My experience has been mostly positive. it's exactly what I was looking for. The only thing I'd watch out for is walkability. Other than that, No regrets on my end..
