Remote worker thinking about Medina
I'm a college student here and It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Has anyone dealt with this?

Hot take but I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. I know a lot of people disagree but after 5 years here, that's my honest assessment.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem improving.
I've been here 15 years and I love the pace of life here. The thing nobody mentions is dating scene. It's pricey and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the walkability is legit. And if you're into kayaking, this place is pretty good.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Uptown side vs the Downtown side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Feel free to reach out with questions..

I work in real estate here and I have mixed feelings honestly. The job market for my field is average. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 4 years ago from Charlotte and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Midtown. It's challenging for what you get.
Jobs: The market is established right now, especially in finance. If you're in construction you might struggle.
People: Generally excellent. It took about 4 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: underrated. Tons of options if you like Korean.

Used to live on the Cedar Grove side, now on the Riverside side. Completely different vibe. there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad.

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is food scene. I love the pace of life here. Worth doing your research before committing.

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. I genuinely enjoy living here. Internet is better than expected in most areas.
