James C. best-worst

Best kept secrets of El Cajon, CA

Alright, Rent is about $1,790/month for a decent place. Homes are going for about $632,800 on average. Poverty rate is 16.1%, which is higher than I expected. The weather takes some getting used to. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.

Pros:
- Good job market
- Friendly people
- Growing food scene
- Good schools
- Diverse community

Cons:
- Lack of diversity
- Boring for young people
- Far from major airports
- Not enough green space

Bought a house here in 2020 and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Property values have gone up significantly since then.
