Why I chose Golden Glades over bigger cities

Hey, Rent is about $1,444/month for a decent place. The unemployment rate is 4.0%, which is pretty low. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Am I wrong here? Cheers. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Property taxes are high but you get good services.

Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Property taxes are high but you get good services. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The suburbs are where most families end up. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The city has invested a lot in new development. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The food scene here is surprisingly good.

I've lived in Old Town for about 7 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. When I first moved here from Austin, I was surprised by cultural scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Decent public transit for the size
- Affordable housing options
- The walkability scene is underrated

The downsides:
- Summers can be brutally hot
- Dating scene is rough

Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for families. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
