Moving to Monterey Park -what should I know?

Curious what people think. We're a young couple and Average temperature is around 66--F, so the weather is moderate. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. What do you all think? Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.

I've lived in North for about 14 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it exceeded my expectations. When I first moved here from San Francisco, I was surprised by traffic. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Good internet infrastructure
- Four distinct seasons
- The safety scene is average

The downsides:
- Traffic during rush hour is rough
- Can feel isolated

Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for couples. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..
