Hello, Been living here since 2010. It's a a small town city with about 10,820 people. Poverty rate is 8.2%, which is pretty low. With a population of 10,820, Garden City is a small town. The median home value here is around $194,100, which is actually reasonable. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The suburbs are where most families end up. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The suburbs are where most families end up. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The weather takes some getting used to.
