Quick question about Marblehead

Alright, With a population of 20,334, Marblehead is a small town. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. What would you do?

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

I'm a electrician who relocated here from Dallas about 11 years ago. The main reasons were retirement and a job opportunity.

Pros I've experienced:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Four distinct seasons
- Good airport with direct flights

Cons that are real:
- Limited public transit options
- Limited high-paying job options

Financially, we've found it underrated compared to where we came from. Lots of new construction which should help. Groceries are reasonable, gas is hit or miss.

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

From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are average, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.
