Working remotely from Fillmore

Hey folks, My family moved here when I was a kid. Crime rate is something to consider -Fillmore sits at 125.7 per 100K. The unemployment rate is 2.5%, which is pretty low. It's a a small town city with about 16,665 people. Median household income is $90,343, which feels pretty solid for the area. The city has invested a lot in new development. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Anyone in a similar situation? The food scene here is surprisingly good. The city has invested a lot in new development. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.

As someone who grew up here, it's improved dramatically in recent years. A lot has changed in the past few years though. dating scene used to be much established but now it's excellent.

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

If you value school system, you'll love it. The outdoor recreation is genuinely better than expected and I've found I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. My neighborhood (Old Town) is pricey and I feel safe walking around at night.

But if you're coming from Houston, be prepared for the culture shock. healthcare is completely different here. And Limited high-paying job options.

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.
