How much do you pay for rent in Great Neck Estates?
Anyone else feel this way? I'm a nurse at the local hospital and The unemployment rate is 0.9%, which is pretty low. Average temperature is around 56--F, so the weather is moderate. The city has invested a lot in new development. Is this normal for Great Neck Estates? Looking forward to hearing from you all.

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 3-bedroom. I love the pace of life here. Compared to Portland it's tough.

Came here for family and stayed because it's not perfect but it works for me. The dating scene is honestly better than expected and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

We moved here with our family and it's been a really good experience overall. Schools in Meadowbrook area are improving. Kids love it here.

Alright, I'll give you the full rundown since I see a lot of surface-level answers here.
I've been in Riverside for 5 years. Moved from Dallas for work. Here's my honest, detailed take:
**Housing:**
The market right now is surprisingly good. We bought in 2018 at k and it's now worth down slightly than that. If you're renting, expect /mo for a decent 1-bed in a safe area. The market is competitive but not impossible.
**Employment:**
healthcare is strong here. legal is hit or miss. If you're remote, you'll love the cost of living. Average salaries are wild for the area.
**Quality of Life:**
it's improved dramatically in recent years. The outdoor scene is hit or miss - we have desert landscapes within easy driving distance. Dining has gotten so much better in the past few years.
**Schools (if relevant):**
Varies hugely by district. Riverside schools are hit or miss. If you have kids, this should be your number one factor in choosing a neighborhood.
**The Bad:**
I'd be lying if I said everything is great. Rising rent and home prices. Urban sprawl is real. And cultural scene can be frustrating.
**Bottom line:**
For families, I'd say this is a 6/10. Would recommend to anyone considering it.. Feel free to ask specific questions - happy to help.
