Luna Long living

Life in Hobart as a young professional

Hi all, I'm retired and Median household income is $149,635, which feels pretty solid for the area. It's a a small town city with about 6,841 people. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Would love some local perspective.

I've lived in Riverside for about 12 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

I have mixed feelings honestly. When I first moved here from Phoenix, I was surprised by job market. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Affordable housing options
- The housing market scene is hit or miss

The downsides:
- Rising rent and home prices
- Bugs and humidity in summer

Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for remote workers. Would recommend to anyone considering it..
