Why I chose Midland Park over bigger cities

Anyone else feel this way? Poverty rate is 0.4%, which is pretty low. Thoughts? Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.

From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are surprisingly good, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 8 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 1-bed in North. It's tough for what you get.

Jobs: The market is reasonable right now, especially in healthcare. If you're in marketing you might struggle.

People: Generally underrated. It took about 11 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: better than expected. Tons of options if you like Korean.

Happy to answer more specific questions..
