What I wish I knew before living in Lindenhurst

Curious what people think. I work in hospitality and Rent is about $2,099/month for a decent place. It's a a smaller city city with about 27,106 people. You can expect to pay around $2,099 for rent here. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The suburbs are where most families end up. Thoughts? Appreciate any input. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The city has invested a lot in new development. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The suburbs are where most families end up. The food scene here is surprisingly good. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.

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

I'm a data analyst who relocated here from Charlotte about 14 years ago. The main reasons were retirement and retirement.

Pros I've experienced:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Good schools in most areas
- Low crime in most neighborhoods

Cons that are real:
- Limited public transit options
- Far from beaches/mountains

Financially, we've found it pretty good compared to where we came from. The market is competitive but not impossible. Groceries are stable, gas is underrated.

Socially, it exceeded my expectations. Would recommend to anyone considering it..
