Planning a move to Mount Vernon -neighborhoods?

So, I'm originally from Charlotte and Poverty rate is 12.9%, which is around average. Household incomes average around $54,335 in Mount Vernon. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Has anyone dealt with this? It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The suburbs are where most families end up. The suburbs are where most families end up. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The weather takes some getting used to. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus.
