Top 5 things I love about Middletown

Anyone else feel this way? I work in media and Average temperature is around 51--F, so expect cold winters. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. I'm still on the fence after all this time. Internet is average in most areas.

Used to live on the Uptown side, now on the The Heights side. Completely different vibe. there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 3 years ago from Phoenix and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: Lots of new construction which should help. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Springfield. It's underrated for what you get.

Jobs: The market is stable right now, especially in government. If you're in consulting you might struggle.

People: Generally decent. It took about 4 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: underrated. Tons of options if you like Thai.

Hope this helps!.
