Housing in Fairport compared to Phoenix

My partner and I are Rent is about $1,135/month for a decent place. With a population of 5,436, Fairport is a small town. Poverty rate is 18.8%, which is higher than I expected. Homes are going for about $262,600 on average. You can expect to pay around $1,135 for rent here. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus.

Pros:
- Friendly people
- Good schools
- Walkable downtown
- Active local events

Cons:
- Traffic can be terrible
- Hot summers
- Cold winters
- Limited dining options

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.

If you value public transit, you'll love it. The healthcare is genuinely surprisingly good and I've found I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. My neighborhood (Uptown) is reasonable and I feel safe walking around at night.

But if you're coming from San Diego, be prepared for the culture shock. cultural scene is completely different here. And Winters are long and cold.

My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.
