Job market in Fountainebleau for tech?

I work in automotive and Homes are going for about $284,600 on average. Crime rate is something to consider -Fountainebleau sits at 231.7 per 100K. Poverty rate is 8.3%, which is pretty low. The median home value here is around $284,600, which seems about average. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The suburbs are where most families end up. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The city has invested a lot in new development. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Anyone in a similar situation?

OK I'm going to write a proper review because I've seen too many incomplete answers.

Background: I'm a electrician, 47, moved here 14 years ago from Houston. I've lived in Cedar Grove and The Heights, and traveled to most parts of the metro.

**What I love:**

1. Cost of living is very reasonable

2. Decent public transit for the size

3. Strong job market in several industries

4. The people are generally hit or miss - I found my community within the first year

**What I don't love:**

1. Winters are long and cold

2. Chain restaurants dominate

3. The pet-friendliness situation is reasonable and doesn't seem to be improving

**Neighborhoods I'd recommend:**

- Cedar Grove: Great for couples. hit or miss vibes, walkable.

- The Heights: More affordable, family-friendly.

**Neighborhoods I'd avoid:**

- Without naming names, stay away from areas east of downtown until you know the city better.

**Cost comparison:**

Coming from Houston, everything felt pretty good. Rent is about /mo. Groceries are reasonable. Gas is developing. You can live comfortably on $60K-$100K here.

**Final verdict:**

No regrets on my end.. It's not perfect - nowhere is - but for the price point and quality of life, it's hard to beat. DM me if you have specific questions.
