Hey everyone, I'm a college student here and Average temperature is around 53°F, so expect cold winters. With a population of 266K, Fort Wayne is a mid-size city. The weather takes some getting used to. It's changing fast — some good, some not so much. Thanks! The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The food scene here is surprisingly good. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The weather takes some getting used to. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The suburbs are where most families end up. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood.
