Is it worth buying in Franklin Square?

Curious what people think. We have two kids and Average temperature is around 56--F, so the weather is moderate. Median household income is $140,051, which feels pretty solid for the area. Crime rate is something to consider -Franklin Square sits at 119.0 per 100K. Household incomes average around $140,051 in Franklin Square. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The food scene here is surprisingly good. What would you do? There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The suburbs are where most families end up.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 10 years ago from Phoenix and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in Sunset. It's hit or miss for what you get.

Jobs: The market is manageable right now, especially in hospitality. If you're in manufacturing you might struggle.

People: Generally decent. It took about 18 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: surprisingly good. Tons of options if you like Mediterranean.

Feel free to reach out with questions..

I've been living here for 12 years and I'd say there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. The food scene is improving compared to other places I've lived. Overall Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..
