Honest thoughts on life in Janesville

Random thought, I work in insurance and Household incomes average around $71,664 in Janesville. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Any advice would be great. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a electrician who relocated here from Miami about 3 years ago. The main reasons were weather and family.

Pros I've experienced:
- Decent public transit for the size
- Four distinct seasons
- Diverse dining options

Cons that are real:
- Winters are long and cold
- Dating scene is rough

Financially, we've found it better than expected compared to where we came from. It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. Groceries are developing, gas is solid.

Socially, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Good luck with whatever you decide..

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is nightlife. I love the pace of life here. Worth doing your research before committing.
