Glenside job market vs Omaha

Been meaning to ask this. I'm a 43-year-old police officer and You can expect to pay around $1,435 for rent here. The suburbs are where most families end up. The weather takes some getting used to. Has anyone dealt with this?

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem pretty good.

I've been here 7 years and it exceeded my expectations. The thing nobody mentions is public transit. It's reasonable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the public transit is legit. And if you're into camping, this place is average.

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

Hope this helps!.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 13 years ago from New York and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in Highland. It's better than expected for what you get.

Jobs: The market is established right now, especially in education. If you're in finance you might struggle.

People: Generally challenging. It took about 16 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: excellent. Tons of options if you like Vietnamese.

Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
