East Riverdale quality of life -am I missing something?

First post here. Crime rate is something to consider -East Riverdale sits at 653.5 per 100K. Poverty rate is 16.9%, which is higher than I expected. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Would love some local perspective.

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

I'm a accountant who relocated here from Houston about 5 years ago. The main reasons were weather and weather.

Pros I've experienced:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Active local events and festivals

Cons that are real:
- Limited public transit options
- Dating scene is rough

Financially, we've found it hit or miss compared to where we came from. If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. Groceries are stable, gas is pretty good.

Socially, it's been a really good experience overall. It's not for everyone but it works for us..

Came here for work and stayed because it exceeded my expectations. The cost of living is honestly underrated and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
