Most overrated things about Eureka

So, I'm a nurse at the local hospital and The median home value here is around $375,800, which seems about average. Household incomes average around $60,253 in Eureka. Rent is about $1,157/month for a decent place. It's a a smaller city city with about 26,302 people. Crime rate is something to consider -Eureka sits at 723.0 per 100K. Property taxes are high but you get good services. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The weather takes some getting used to. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus.

Pros:
- Friendly people
- Nice parks and trails
- Good healthcare facilities
- Strong sense of community

Cons:
- Cold winters
- Boring for young people
- Poor road conditions
- Mosquitoes and humidity
