Commute times in Elmira -how bad?

Been meaning to ask this. Homes are going for about $88,200 on average. Crime rate is something to consider -Elmira sits at 307.9 per 100K. You can expect to pay around $871 for rent here. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The suburbs are where most families end up. What would you do? The weather takes some getting used to. The city has invested a lot in new development. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.

As someone who grew up here, I have mixed feelings honestly. A lot has changed in the past few years though. job market used to be much growing but now it's challenging.

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 4-bedroom. the quality of life is solid. Compared to Minneapolis it's hit or miss.

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. I love the pace of life here. Internet is average in most areas.

From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are solid, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.

My experience has been mostly positive. it was the best decision I ever made. The only thing I'd watch out for is community vibe. Other than that, Good luck with whatever you decide..
