Alright, My family moved here when I was a kid. Homes are going for about $192,500 on average. Average temperature is around 41--F, so bundle up in winter. You can expect to pay around $741 for rent here. Poverty rate is 7.9%, which is pretty low. Household incomes average around $54,809 in Jamestown. The suburbs are where most families end up. The city has invested a lot in new development. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood.

Pros:
- Friendly people
- Low crime in most areas
- Walkable downtown

Cons:
- Hot summers
- Boring for young people
- Mosquitoes and humidity
- Chain restaurants dominate
- Not enough green space
