Hey, Military spouse here. Average temperature is around 61--F, so the weather is moderate. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. I'm still on the fence after all this time. Internet is hit or miss in most areas.

I've lived in Cedar Grove for about 15 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 Atlanta, I was surprised by housing market. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- Nice parks and green spaces
- The traffic scene is improving
The downsides:
- Road conditions need improvement
- Can feel isolated
Overall I'd rate it 8/10 for singles. It's not for everyone but it works for us..
