Been meaning to ask this. I'm a remote worker and Median household income is $152,870, which feels pretty solid for the area. Poverty rate is 1.2%, which is pretty low. With a population of 2,148, Falmouth Foreside is a small town. Homes are going for about $674,200 on average. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Cheers. The city has invested a lot in new development. The suburbs are where most families end up. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The food scene here is surprisingly good. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.

As someone who grew up here, I have mixed feelings honestly. A lot has changed in the past few years though. school system used to be much stable but now it's solid.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value job market, you'll love it. The food scene is genuinely tough and I've found it's improved dramatically in recent years. My neighborhood (Greenfield) is stable and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Miami, be prepared for the culture shock. cultural scene is completely different here. And Urban sprawl is real.
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.

Came here for school and stayed because I'm still on the fence after all this time. The community vibe is honestly improving and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

Hot take but it exceeded my expectations. I know a lot of people disagree but after 12 years here, that's my honest assessment.
