What I wish I knew before living in Elyria
Hi all, I relocated for work and Average temperature is around 53--F, so expect cold winters. It's a a smaller city city with about 52,833 people. Homes are going for about $142,800 on average. Crime rate is something to consider -Elyria sits at 254.6 per 100K. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.
Pros:
- Low crime in most areas
- Close to nature
- Diverse community
Cons:
- Traffic can be terrible
- Limited public transit
- Limited nightlife
- Sprawl everywhere
- Lack of diversity

Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Property taxes are high but you get good services. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The food scene here is surprisingly good.
