We're a young couple and Homes are going for about $98,500 on average. You can expect to pay around $806 for rent here. Household incomes average around $55,833 in Middletown. Median household income is $55,833, which feels about average for the area. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Should I be concerned? There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 11 years ago from Austin and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in Maple Ridge. It's surprisingly good for what you get.
Jobs: The market is stable right now, especially in marketing. If you're in manufacturing you might struggle.
People: Generally tough. It took about 9 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: excellent. Tons of options if you like craft beer.
Happy to answer more specific questions..

I've lived in Sunset for about 12 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I genuinely enjoy living here. When I first moved here from LA, I was surprised by public transit. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Strong job market in several industries
- The school system scene is average
