Planning a move to Grass Valley -neighborhoods?

First post here. It's a a small town city with about 14,126 people. The median home value here is around $458,400, which is pretty steep. You can expect to pay around $1,417 for rent here. The city has invested a lot in new development. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Has anyone dealt with this? The city has invested a lot in new development. The city has invested a lot in new development. The suburbs are where most families end up.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a electrician who relocated here from Phoenix about 7 years ago. The main reasons were a job opportunity and weather.

Pros I've experienced:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Strong job market in several industries
- Diverse dining options

Cons that are real:
- Limited public transit options
- Limited entertainment options

Financially, we've found it solid compared to where we came from. Lots of new construction which should help. Groceries are wild, gas is decent.

Socially, there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. No regrets on my end..
