Alright, We have two kids and The median home value here is around $250,000, which is actually reasonable. It's a a small town city with about 13,462 people. With a population of 13,462, Irondale is a small town. Median household income is $71,240, which feels about average for the area. Property taxes are high but you get good services. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Anyone in a similar situation? Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The suburbs are where most families end up. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.
