OK so I work in government and It's a a smaller city city with about 38,299 people. Homes are going for about $612,800 on average. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Thoughts? Thanks in advance! There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Property taxes are high but you get good services.

Used to live on the Cedar Grove side, now on the Riverside side. Completely different vibe. I genuinely enjoy living here.

I've lived in Fairview for about 7 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I have mixed feelings honestly. When I first moved here from Houston, I was surprised by pet-friendliness. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Good schools in most areas
- Nice parks and green spaces
- The cost of living scene is excellent
The downsides:
- Urban sprawl is real
- Property taxes are high
Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for singles. It's not for everyone but it works for us..
