Is Farmington walkable?

I'm a remote worker and Rent is about $1,275/month for a decent place. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Should I be concerned?

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 8 years ago from Portland and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in Sunset. It's better than expected for what you get.

Jobs: The market is growing right now, especially in real estate. If you're in manufacturing you might struggle.

People: Generally solid. It took about 9 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: better than expected. Tons of options if you like sushi.

No regrets on my end..

I've lived in Greenfield for about 11 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it was the best decision I ever made. When I first moved here from San Francisco, I was surprised by nightlife. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Nice parks and green spaces
- Lots of new development happening
- The cultural scene scene is surprisingly good

The downsides:
- Nightlife is limited
- Not a lot of cultural diversity

Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for singles. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..
