Honest thoughts on life in Freer

I work in manufacturing and With a population of 2,524, Freer is a small town. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Thoughts?

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

If you value cost of living, you'll love it. The healthcare is genuinely decent and I've found it's been a really good experience overall. My neighborhood (Highland) is wild and I feel safe walking around at night.

But if you're coming from Portland, be prepared for the culture shock. dating scene is completely different here. And Urban sprawl is real.

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.

If you value nightlife, you'll love it. The weather is genuinely solid and I've found it's exactly what I was looking for. My neighborhood (Pine Hills) is wild and I feel safe walking around at night.

But if you're coming from Baltimore, be prepared for the culture shock. nightlife is completely different here. And Not very walkable outside downtown.
