Best restaurants in Medford?

Curious what people think. Been living here since 2024. Rent is about $2,477/month for a decent place. Homes are going for about $715,500 on average. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Anyone in a similar situation? Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.

We moved here with our family and it's exactly what I was looking for. Schools in Midtown area are pretty good. Kids love it here.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.

If you value healthcare, you'll love it. The public transit is genuinely better than expected and I've found it's been a really good experience overall. My neighborhood (Lakewood) is established and I feel safe walking around at night.

But if you're coming from San Diego, be prepared for the culture shock. healthcare is completely different here. And Summers can be brutally hot.

My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.
