Why I chose Frankfort over bigger cities

First post here. I'm retired and The unemployment rate is 2.6%, which is pretty low. Average temperature is around 52--F, so expect cold winters. Property taxes are high but you get good services. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Worth the trade-offs?

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a HR manager who relocated here from LA about 6 years ago. The main reasons were cost of living and family.

Pros I've experienced:
- Close to major attractions
- Affordable housing options
- Good airport with direct flights

Cons that are real:
- Winters are long and cold
- Limited entertainment options

Financially, we've found it better than expected compared to where we came from. It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. Groceries are pricey, gas is surprisingly good.

Socially, it's been a really good experience overall. It's not for everyone but it works for us..

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. Internet is pretty good in most areas.
