Medford vs Dallas -which is better?
Not sure if this has been asked before, but We're a young couple and The median home value here is around $715,500, which is pretty steep. With a population of 59,062, Medford is a smaller city. Poverty rate is 3.0%, which is pretty low. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The weather takes some getting used to. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods.
Pros:
- Friendly people
- Nice parks and trails
- Growing food scene
- Walkable downtown
Cons:
- Traffic can be terrible
- Limited dining options
- Lack of diversity
- Chain restaurants dominate
- Homelessness issues downtown
