OK so I'm a remote worker and Crime rate is something to consider -Iron Mountain sits at 95.6 per 100K. Poverty rate is 11.4%, which is around average. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The weather takes some getting used to. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Any advice would be great. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.

Public transit is solid here. You'll probably need a car for most things. I'm still on the fence after all this time.

I've lived in North for about 6 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it was the best decision I ever made. When I first moved here from Houston, I was surprised by dating scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Lots of new development happening
- The outdoor recreation scene is tough
The downsides:
- Nightlife is limited
- Can feel isolated
Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for singles. It's not for everyone but it works for us..

Came here for a fresh start and stayed because it exceeded my expectations. The nightlife is honestly underrated and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
