Is Greenfield worth it salary-wise?

Hey, I'm originally from Seattle and The median home value here is around $524,300, which is pretty steep. The unemployment rate is 0.2%, which is pretty low. Household incomes average around $147,184 in Greenfield. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Is this normal for Greenfield?

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

I'm a sales manager who relocated here from Miami about 5 years ago. The main reasons were weather and cost of living.

Pros I've experienced:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Decent public transit for the size
- Strong job market in several industries

Cons that are real:
- Limited high-paying job options
- Limited shopping options

Financially, we've found it pretty good compared to where we came from. Lots of new construction which should help. Groceries are pricey, gas is improving.

Socially, it's improved dramatically in recent years. No regrets on my end..
