What I wish I knew before living in Kendallville

Been meaning to ask this. I'm a teacher here and It's a a small town city with about 10,094 people. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Thanks! Property taxes are high but you get good services.

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

I'm a HR manager who relocated here from Raleigh about 7 years ago. The main reasons were work and quality of life.

Pros I've experienced:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Lots of new development happening
- Strong sense of community

Cons that are real:
- Not very walkable outside downtown
- Limited high-paying job options

Financially, we've found it hit or miss compared to where we came from. If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. Groceries are wild, gas is tough.

Socially, I have mixed feelings honestly. Good luck with whatever you decide..
