Is it worth buying in Holiday City-Berkeley?

Curious what people think. Median household income is $47,855, which feels on the lower side for the area. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Should I be concerned? Public transit needs a lot of work honestly.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 3 years ago from Raleigh and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in Riverside. It's underrated for what you get.

Jobs: The market is affordable right now, especially in government. If you're in hospitality you might struggle.

People: Generally challenging. It took about 15 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: decent. Tons of options if you like Southern.

Feel free to reach out with questions..

Hot take but I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. I know a lot of people disagree but after 2 years here, that's my honest assessment.

From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are better than expected, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.
