Cost of living reality check -Gahanna

Hey everyone, I'm a 35-year-old contractor and Crime rate is something to consider -Gahanna sits at 122.7 per 100K. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Is this normal for Gahanna?

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem excellent.

I've been here 2 years and I love the pace of life here. The thing nobody mentions is pet-friendliness. It's stable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the cost of living is legit. And if you're into skiing, this place is excellent.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Midtown side vs the Lakewood side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

Happy to answer more specific questions..
