Is Kingston a good place to live?

I'm a college student here and Homes are going for about $277,900 on average. Average temperature is around 48--F, so expect cold winters. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Am I wrong here?

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.

If you value housing market, you'll love it. The community vibe is genuinely decent and I've found I love the pace of life here. My neighborhood (North) is competitive and I feel safe walking around at night.

But if you're coming from New York, be prepared for the culture shock. weather is completely different here. And Property taxes are high.

My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.
