Just moved to Green Bay, any tips?

I'm a 31-year-old lawyer and You can expect to pay around $904 for rent here. Median household income is $62,546, which feels about average for the area. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Thoughts?   It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.

I've lived in East for about 11 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it's improved dramatically in recent years. When I first moved here from Denver, I was surprised by outdoor recreation. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:

- Friendly community, easy to meet people

- Four distinct seasons

- The food scene scene is excellent

The downsides:

- Urban sprawl is real

- Dating scene is rough

Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for singles. Would recommend to anyone considering it..
