I'm a college student here and Crime rate is something to consider -Golden Hills sits at 392.4 per 100K. It's a a small town city with about 10,445 people. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Is this normal for Golden Hills? Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.

We moved here with our family and I love the pace of life here. Schools in Highland area are average. Kids love it here.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a pharmacist who relocated here from San Diego about 8 years ago. The main reasons were cost of living and work.
Pros I've experienced:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Nice parks and green spaces
- Strong job market in several industries
Cons that are real:
- Limited high-paying job options
- Far from beaches/mountains
Financially, we've found it tough compared to where we came from. The market is competitive but not impossible. Groceries are manageable, gas is better than expected.
Socially, I have mixed feelings honestly. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

As someone who grew up here, I genuinely enjoy living here. A lot has changed in the past few years though. nightlife used to be much wild but now it's hit or miss.
