Moving to Mount Rainier with kids -good idea?

I'm a nurse at the local hospital and It's a a small town city with about 8,235 people. With a population of 8,235, Mount Rainier is a small town. Rent is about $1,434/month for a decent place. The median home value here is around $522,100, which is pretty steep. Homes are going for about $522,100 on average. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The weather takes some getting used to. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Let me know your thoughts. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The suburbs are where most families end up. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.
