First post here. My family moved here when I was a kid. With a population of 11,727, Emmaus is a small town. The unemployment rate is 2.3%, which is pretty low. Median household income is $82,875, which feels pretty solid for the area. Rent is about $1,331/month for a decent place. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. What do you all think? Property taxes are high but you get good services. The weather takes some getting used to. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The city has invested a lot in new development.
