Military spouse here. Crime rate is something to consider -Medina sits at 79.1 per 100K. Household incomes average around $76,099 in Medina. You can expect to pay around $1,025 for rent here. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The city has invested a lot in new development.
Pros:
- Great weather
- Friendly people
- Growing food scene
- Close to nature
- Good airport connections
Cons:
- Lack of diversity
- Far from major airports
- Chain restaurants dominate
