Hey, I relocated for work and The median home value here is around $195,600, which is actually reasonable. Poverty rate is 11.4%, which is around average. The suburbs are where most families end up. Worth the trade-offs? There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods.

I've lived in Cedar Grove for about 5 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it's exactly what I was looking for. When I first moved here from Phoenix, I was surprised by community vibe. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Good healthcare facilities
- Strong job market in several industries
- The dating scene scene is solid
The downsides:
- Dating scene is rough
- Homeless population growing downtown
Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for singles. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 1 years ago from Phoenix and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Older homes are where the value is. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Greenfield. It's decent for what you get.
Jobs: The market is competitive right now, especially in government. If you're in retail you might struggle.
People: Generally better than expected. It took about 17 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: better than expected. Tons of options if you like Thai.
Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

Public transit is challenging here. You'll probably need a car for most things. I genuinely enjoy living here.

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