What's it really like living in Linda?

Longtime lurker here, I'm retired and The unemployment rate is 4.8%, which is about average. Poverty rate is 18.9%, which is higher than I expected. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The suburbs are where most families end up. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The city has invested a lot in new development. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 4 years ago from Raleigh and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in Highland. It's improving for what you get.

Jobs: The market is growing right now, especially in education. If you're in hospitality you might struggle.

People: Generally average. It took about 8 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: better than expected. Tons of options if you like Vietnamese.

Hope this helps!.

Weather-wise, the summers are solid and winters are growing. You get used to it after the first year.
