Hey, I relocated for work and Poverty rate is 6.3%, which is pretty low. Rent is about $953/month for a decent place. The city has invested a lot in new development. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. What would you do? Appreciate any input. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem pretty good.
I've been here 8 years and I have mixed feelings honestly. The thing nobody mentions is food scene. It's wild and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the housing market is legit. And if you're into rock climbing, this place is excellent.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Cedar Grove side vs the Meadowbrook side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
It's not for everyone but it works for us..

My experience has been mostly positive. it's been a really good experience overall. The only thing I'd watch out for is food scene. Other than that, Hope this helps!.
