Moving to Grafton -what should I know?

Been living here since 2012. The unemployment rate is 1.2%, which is pretty low. Household incomes average around $88,634 in Grafton. Median household income is $88,634, which feels pretty solid for the area. With a population of 12,274, Grafton is a small town. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. What do you all think? There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 9 years ago from Tampa and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: The market is competitive but not impossible. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in Springfield. It's challenging for what you get.

Jobs: The market is pricey right now, especially in tech. If you're in healthcare you might struggle.

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

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

Would recommend to anyone considering it..
