We're a young couple and It's a a small town city with about 3,170 people. Poverty rate is 14.5%, which is around average. Homes are going for about $144,800 on average. With a population of 3,170, Millersburg is a small town. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. What are your go-to spots? The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The weather takes some getting used to. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The weather takes some getting used to. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.

I work in government here and I genuinely enjoy living here. The job market for my field is tough. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

We moved here with our family and it was the best decision I ever made. Schools in East area are better than expected. Kids love it here.

Hot take but I have mixed feelings honestly. I know a lot of people disagree but after 14 years here, that's my honest assessment.

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 3-bedroom. it exceeded my expectations. Compared to Seattle it's decent.

I've lived in Uptown for about 12 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. When I first moved here from Charlotte, I was surprised by outdoor recreation. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Lots of new development happening
- The healthcare scene is excellent
The downsides:
- Traffic during rush hour is rough
- Urban sprawl is real
Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for couples. No regrets on my end..

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem decent.
I've been here 6 years and it was the best decision I ever made. The thing nobody mentions is weather. It's affordable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the safety is legit. And if you're into biking, this place is excellent.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The North side vs the Westside side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
