Honest thoughts on life in Montgomery

Been living here since 2011. The unemployment rate is 3.8%, which is pretty low. With a population of 198K, Montgomery is a mid-size city. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Anyone in a similar situation?

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.

If you value dating scene, you'll love it. The healthcare is genuinely better than expected and I've found it was the best decision I ever made. My neighborhood (Greenfield) is stable and I feel safe walking around at night.

But if you're coming from LA, be prepared for the culture shock. safety is completely different here. And Winters are long and cold.

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.
