Hey folks, We have two kids and The median home value here is around $218,100, which is actually reasonable. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much.

I work in legal here and I genuinely enjoy living here. The job market for my field is pretty good. It's not for everyone but it works for us..

I've lived in Cedar Grove for about 8 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I'm still on the fence after all this time. When I first moved here from Minneapolis, I was surprised by healthcare. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Decent public transit for the size
- Strong job market in several industries
- The safety scene is pretty good
The downsides:
- Not a lot of cultural diversity
- Dating scene is rough
Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for singles. Happy to answer more specific questions..

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem solid.
I've been here 2 years and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. The thing nobody mentions is dating scene. It's manageable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the outdoor recreation is legit. And if you're into kayaking, this place is better than expected.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Midtown side vs the West side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
