Longtime lurker here, Rent is about $940/month for a decent place. Crime rate is something to consider -Flushing sits at 76.3 per 100K. The median home value here is around $189,500, which is actually reasonable. The unemployment rate is 3.7%, which is pretty low. With a population of 8,323, Flushing is a small town. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Worth the trade-offs? It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The suburbs are where most families end up. The suburbs are where most families end up. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. It's not perfect, but the community is solid.
