Thinking about relocating to Harrisburg from Chicago

Hey everyone, Just moved here 4 months ago and It's a a smaller city city with about 50,092 people. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable.

I've lived in Pine Hills for about 14 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it's been a really good experience overall. When I first moved here from Baltimore, I was surprised by school system. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- Good internet infrastructure
- The food scene scene is improving

The downsides:
- Summers can be brutally hot
- Limited entertainment options

Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for singles. Definitely worth checking out..

As someone who grew up here, it's not perfect but it works for me. A lot has changed in the past few years though. safety used to be much stable but now it's average.

I'm a lawyer and I've found it's exactly what I was looking for. The community is excellent and there's always something going on.
