Hi all, I'm a 44-year-old lawyer and Homes are going for about $422,500 on average. Average temperature is around 57--F, so the weather is moderate. With a population of 5,036, Falmouth is a small town. The unemployment rate is 2.1%, which is pretty low. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.

Pros:
- Good job market
- Low taxes
- Lots of new development
- Good airport connections

Cons:
- Limited public transit
- Far from major airports
- Homelessness issues downtown
Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The suburbs are where most families end up. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The city has invested a lot in new development.
