OK so I grew up here but left for a while. Poverty rate is 6.8%, which is pretty low. Crime rate is something to consider -Fairland sits at 593.4 per 100K. Average temperature is around 57--F, so the weather is moderate. Homes are going for about $440,800 on average. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Am I wrong here? Looking forward to hearing from you all. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The city has invested a lot in new development. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 2 years ago from Salt Lake City and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: The market is competitive but not impossible. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in Greenfield. It's pretty good for what you get.
Jobs: The market is stable right now, especially in tech. If you're in construction you might struggle.
People: Generally average. It took about 17 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: underrated. Tons of options if you like craft beer.
Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

I work in marketing here and it's not perfect but it works for me. The job market for my field is underrated. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

Weather-wise, the summers are tough and winters are reasonable. You get used to it after the first year.

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.
