Curious what people think. I'm originally from Baltimore and You can expect to pay around $1,975 for rent here. The median home value here is around $1,228,700, which is pretty steep. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Does this match your experience? People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus.

I've lived in Cedar Grove for about 13 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. When I first moved here from LA, I was surprised by housing market. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Good healthcare facilities
- The public transit scene is underrated
The downsides:
- Road conditions need improvement
- Can feel isolated
Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for retirees. Definitely worth checking out..

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is cost of living. the quality of life is solid. Worth doing your research before committing.

I've lived in North for about 1 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. When I first moved here from Houston, I was surprised by food scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Affordable housing options
- The weather scene is challenging
The downsides:
- Nightlife is limited
- Not very walkable outside downtown
Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for retirees. No regrets on my end..

Hot take but I genuinely enjoy living here. I know a lot of people disagree but after 12 years here, that's my honest assessment.

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Internet is average in most areas.
