What Mount Vernon does better than anywhere else

Household incomes average around $73,277 in Mount Vernon. It's a a smaller city city with about 35,312 people. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Any advice would be great. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The city has invested a lot in new development.

Used to live on the Highland side, now on the Sunset side. Completely different vibe. it's not perfect but it works for me.

I've lived in Downtown for about 3 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

I genuinely enjoy living here. When I first moved here from Austin, I was surprised by cultural scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Nice parks and green spaces
- Affordable housing options
- The food scene scene is improving

The downsides:
- Summers can be brutally hot
- Rising rent and home prices

Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for young professionals. It's not for everyone but it works for us..
