Most overrated things about Huntington

Not sure if this has been asked before, but You can expect to pay around $852 for rent here. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Anyone in a similar situation? It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem excellent.

I've been here 15 years and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. The thing nobody mentions is cultural scene. It's stable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the traffic is legit. And if you're into mountain biking, this place is average.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Downtown side vs the Eastside side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

Hope this helps!.

As someone who grew up here, I genuinely enjoy living here. A lot has changed in the past few years though. outdoor recreation used to be much reasonable but now it's surprisingly good.

Public transit is challenging here. You'll probably need a car for most things. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now.

I've lived in Meadowbrook for about 1 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

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

A few things worth knowing:
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- Four distinct seasons
- The cultural scene scene is solid

The downsides:
- Summers can be brutally hot
- Dating scene is rough

Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for families. No regrets on my end..

My experience has been mostly positive. I have mixed feelings honestly. The only thing I'd watch out for is public transit. Other than that, Would recommend to anyone considering it..
