Just moved to Madison, any tips?

Not sure if this has been asked before, but I'm a 48-year-old sales rep and Crime rate is something to consider -Madison sits at 6.1 per 100K. The median home value here is around $882,900, which is pretty steep. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Am I overthinking this?

Public transit is challenging here. You'll probably need a car for most things. I'm still on the fence after all this time.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem improving.

I've been here 2 years and there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. The thing nobody mentions is cost of living. It's growing and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the healthcare is legit. And if you're into surfing, this place is better than expected.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Oak Park side vs the Highland side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

Definitely worth checking out..
