Hi all, I'm originally from Seattle and Rent is about $1,119/month for a decent place. Average temperature is around 45--F, so bundle up in winter. The unemployment rate is 2.9%, which is pretty low. Crime rate is something to consider -Mound sits at 21.7 per 100K. The median home value here is around $348,600, which seems about average. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The weather takes some getting used to. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Any advice would be great.

The city has invested a lot in new development. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The suburbs are where most families end up. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The food scene here is surprisingly good. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.
