Honest thoughts on life in Long Beach
I relocated for work and Rent is about $1,209/month for a decent place. The unemployment rate is 3.7%, which is pretty low. Household incomes average around $71,121 in Long Beach. Crime rate is something to consider -Long Beach sits at 83.5 per 100K. Poverty rate is 6.0%, which is pretty low. The city has invested a lot in new development. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The suburbs are where most families end up. The weather takes some getting used to.
Pros:
- Affordable cost of living
- Great weather
- Low crime in most areas
- Easy commute
- Strong sense of community
Cons:
- Rising rent prices
- Few job opportunities in some fields
- Limited cultural events
- Not enough green space
