Curious what people think. I grew up here but left for a while. Rent is about $1,793/month for a decent place. Homes are going for about $471,500 on average. It's a a small town city with about 18,263 people. Crime rate is something to consider -Lake Shore sits at 500.0 per 100K. The city has invested a lot in new development. The suburbs are where most families end up. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Anyone in a similar situation? The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood.
