Hey folks, I relocated for work and Average temperature is around 62°F, so the weather is moderate. Household incomes average around $77,899 in Modesto. It's changing fast — some good, some not so much. Is this normal for Modesto? I'd say it's better for families than young singles.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value healthcare, you'll love it. The outdoor recreation is genuinely decent and I've found I genuinely enjoy living here. My neighborhood (South) is competitive and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Miami, be prepared for the culture shock. cultural scene is completely different here. And Urban sprawl is real.
My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.
