Hello, I'm a remote worker and Poverty rate is 7.1%, which is pretty low. Household incomes average around $89,183 in Menifee. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Am I wrong here? Cheers.

I've been living here for 8 years and I'd say it was the best decision I ever made. The nightlife is underrated compared to other places I've lived. Overall Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

OK I'm going to write a proper review because I've seen too many incomplete answers.
Background: I'm a marketing manager, 31, moved here 7 years ago from Minneapolis. I've lived in Oak Park and East, and traveled to most parts of the metro.
**What I love:**
1. Strong job market in several industries
2. Good internet infrastructure
3. Affordable housing options
4. The people are generally excellent - I found my community within the first year
**What I don't love:**
1. Bugs and humidity in summer
2. Far from beaches/mountains
3. The healthcare situation is affordable and doesn't seem to be improving
**Neighborhoods I'd recommend:**
- Oak Park: Great for remote workers. underrated vibes, walkable.
- East: More affordable, family-friendly.
**Neighborhoods I'd avoid:**
- Without naming names, stay away from areas east of downtown until you know the city better.
**Cost comparison:**
Coming from Minneapolis, everything felt solid. Rent is about /mo. Groceries are manageable. Gas is developing. You can live comfortably on $60K-$130K here.
**Final verdict:**
Definitely worth checking out.. It's not perfect - nowhere is - but for the price point and quality of life, it's hard to beat. DM me if you have specific questions.

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

I've been living here for 12 years and I'd say I'm still on the fence after all this time. The cultural scene is improving compared to other places I've lived. Overall It's not for everyone but it works for us..
