Freelancing from Greenfield -experience?

Random thought, I work in manufacturing and The unemployment rate is 3.6%, which is pretty low. Crime rate is something to consider -Greenfield sits at 308.1 per 100K. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Worth the trade-offs? Cheers. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The weather takes some getting used to. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The city has invested a lot in new development. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level.

I've lived in East for about 8 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it's not perfect but it works for me. When I first moved here from San Diego, I was surprised by weather. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Decent public transit for the size
- The outdoor recreation scene is better than expected

The downsides:
- Not a lot of cultural diversity
- Can feel isolated

Overall I'd rate it 8/10 for retirees. No regrets on my end..
