Best coffee shops in Fulton?
Thoughts? It's not perfect, but the community is solid.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a writer who relocated here from Dallas about 11 years ago. The main reasons were cost of living and a fresh start.
Pros I've experienced:
- Decent public transit for the size
- Good internet infrastructure
- Close to major attractions
Cons that are real:
- Limited high-paying job options
- Limited shopping options
Financially, we've found it solid compared to where we came from. Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. Groceries are established, gas is challenging.
Socially, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Feel free to reach out with questions..

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

I've lived in Greenfield for about 2 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. When I first moved here from Pittsburgh, I was surprised by dating scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Good airport with direct flights
- The cost of living scene is excellent
The downsides:
- Winters are long and cold
- Property taxes are high
Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for families. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem improving.
I've been here 1 years and it exceeded my expectations. The thing nobody mentions is walkability. It's wild and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the traffic is legit. And if you're into kayaking, this place is surprisingly good.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Old Town side vs the Uptown side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Definitely worth checking out..
