Anyone else feel this way? I'm a remote worker and Crime rate is something to consider -Manteca sits at 238.3 per 100K. You can expect to pay around $1,934 for rent here. Homes are going for about $561,200 on average. Average temperature is around 61--F, so the weather is moderate. Median household income is $94,718, which feels pretty solid for the area. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Has anyone dealt with this? Appreciate any input. The city has invested a lot in new development. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The food scene here is surprisingly good. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level.

The weather takes some getting used to. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The suburbs are where most families end up. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly.
