Is it worth buying in Hide-A-Way Lake?

Not sure if this has been asked before, but Crime rate is something to consider -Hide-A-Way Lake sits at 685.7 per 100K. The city has invested a lot in new development. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. What do you all think? Thanks in advance!

I've lived in Lakewood for about 8 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 San Francisco, I was surprised by walkability. 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 school system scene is underrated

The downsides:
- Nightlife is limited
- Bugs and humidity in summer

Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for remote workers. Feel free to reach out with questions..

I've been living here for 2 years and I'd say the quality of life is solid. The school system is pretty good compared to other places I've lived. Overall It's not for everyone but it works for us..

Used to live on the West side, now on the North side. Completely different vibe. I love the pace of life here.
