Been meaning to ask this. I'm a nurse at the local hospital and With a population of 86,234, Mission is a smaller city. Crime rate is something to consider -Mission sits at 122.5 per 100K. The suburbs are where most families end up. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. What do you all think? Cheers. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable.

As someone who grew up here, I genuinely enjoy living here. A lot has changed in the past few years though. pet-friendliness used to be much developing but now it's solid.

I've lived in Sunset for about 6 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I have mixed feelings honestly. When I first moved here from Charlotte, I was surprised by school system. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Good healthcare facilities
- Good airport with direct flights
- The weather scene is pretty good
The downsides:
- Property taxes are high
- Chain restaurants dominate
Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for retirees. Good luck with whatever you decide..
