How is the nightlife in Elmont?

First post here. The median home value here is around $576,800, which is pretty steep. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. What do you all think? TIA! The weather takes some getting used to.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 2 years ago from Seattle and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in The Heights. It's challenging for what you get.

Jobs: The market is developing right now, especially in retail. If you're in education you might struggle.

People: Generally improving. It took about 9 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: improving. Tons of options if you like Indian.

No regrets on my end..

I've lived in Westside for about 10 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it exceeded my expectations. When I first moved here from Minneapolis, I was surprised by weather. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Lots of new development happening
- Four distinct seasons
- The cultural scene scene is average

The downsides:
- Traffic during rush hour is rough
- Urban sprawl is real

Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for families. Definitely worth checking out..
