Pros and cons of Fresno after 14 years
OK so I'm a nurse at the local hospital and Household incomes average around $66,804 in Fresno. Average temperature is around 64°F, so the weather is moderate. Homes are going for about $348,500 on average. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. It's changing fast — some good, some not so much. It's not perfect, but the community is solid.
Pros:
- Great weather
- Nice parks and trails
- Close to nature
- Good airport connections
Cons:
- Traffic can be terrible
- Rising rent prices
- Not very walkable
- Few job opportunities in some fields
- Boring for young people

There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. It's changing fast — some good, some not so much.
