Housing market in Goleta right now

I'm retired and Poverty rate is 5.4%, which is pretty low. Median household income is $118,039, which feels pretty solid for the area. With a population of 32,693, Goleta is a smaller city. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.

Pros:
- Low crime in most areas
- Close to nature
- Good airport connections

Cons:
- Limited public transit
- Few job opportunities in some fields
- Far from major airports
- Not enough green space
Am I overthinking this? Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The city has invested a lot in new development.

Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.

I've been living here for 6 years and I'd say it's improved dramatically in recent years. The cultural scene is better than expected compared to other places I've lived. Overall It's not for everyone but it works for us..

As someone who grew up here, I'm still on the fence after all this time. A lot has changed in the past few years though. food scene used to be much affordable but now it's solid.
