Housing market in Duarte right now

So, I'm originally from Charlotte and Average temperature is around 65--F, so the weather is moderate. Crime rate is something to consider -Duarte sits at 255.2 per 100K. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Am I wrong here? The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a data analyst who relocated here from New York about 6 years ago. The main reasons were school and school.

Pros I've experienced:
- Good healthcare facilities
- Lots of new development happening
- Affordable housing options

Cons that are real:
- Summers can be brutally hot
- Nightlife is limited

Financially, we've found it surprisingly good compared to where we came from. Lots of new construction which should help. Groceries are pricey, gas is better than expected.

Socially, it was the best decision I ever made. Definitely worth checking out..
