Anyone regret moving to Marseilles?

I grew up here but left for a while. It's a a small town city with about 4,071 people. Rent is about $1,039/month for a decent place. Average temperature is around 50--F, so expect cold winters. Median household income is $56,777, which feels about average for the area. Homes are going for about $119,100 on average. The weather takes some getting used to. The suburbs are where most families end up. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. What are your go-to spots? Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The city has invested a lot in new development. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.

I've lived in Highland for about 13 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

I have mixed feelings honestly. When I first moved here from Houston, I was surprised by dating scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Nice parks and green spaces
- The cultural scene scene is challenging

The downsides:
- Summers can be brutally hot
- Chain restaurants dominate

Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for couples. No regrets on my end..
