Anyone else love living in Frankfort?

Hi all, I'm retired and Homes are going for about $461,600 on average. Median household income is $153,714, which feels pretty solid for the area. Crime rate is something to consider -Frankfort sits at 82.7 per 100K. Poverty rate is 2.6%, which is pretty low. Property taxes are high but you get good services. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The food scene here is surprisingly good.

Pros:
- Friendly people
- Growing food scene
- Diverse community
- Easy commute
- Strong sense of community

Cons:
- Not very walkable
- Mosquitoes and humidity
- Limited cultural events
- Not enough green space
What would you do? Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.

People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.

I'm a accountant and I've found it's exactly what I was looking for. The community is challenging and there's always something going on.

Weather-wise, the summers are excellent and winters are developing. You get used to it after the first year.

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want cost of living, then yeah this place is great. But if cultural scene matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.

From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are better than expected, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.

I work in manufacturing here and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. The job market for my field is better than expected. It's not for everyone but it works for us..

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

If you value cultural scene, you'll love it. The healthcare is genuinely solid and I've found I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. My neighborhood (South) is established and I feel safe walking around at night.

But if you're coming from Atlanta, be prepared for the culture shock. outdoor recreation is completely different here. And Limited public transit 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.

I've lived in Old Town for about 13 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

I love the pace of life here. When I first moved here from Tampa, I was surprised by dating scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Good healthcare facilities
- The healthcare scene is surprisingly good

The downsides:
- Limited public transit options
- Winters are long and cold

Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for singles. Happy to answer more specific questions..
