What Monroe does better than anywhere else

Not sure if this has been asked before, but Median household income is $67,265, which feels about average for the area. Household incomes average around $67,265 in Monroe. With a population of 35,596, Monroe is a smaller city. It's a a smaller city city with about 35,596 people. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Property taxes are high but you get good services. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Worth the trade-offs? The weather takes some getting used to. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.

Used to live on the South side, now on the East side. Completely different vibe. I genuinely enjoy living here.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 9 years ago from New York and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in Springfield. It's surprisingly good for what you get.

Jobs: The market is pricey right now, especially in consulting. If you're in legal you might struggle.

People: Generally challenging. It took about 8 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: underrated. Tons of options if you like Mexican.

No regrets on my end..
