Alright, I'm single, late 50s, and Crime rate is something to consider -Murray sits at 102.3 per 100K. With a population of 17,888, Murray is a small town. The unemployment rate is 2.8%, which is pretty low. Household incomes average around $40,348 in Murray. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Should I be concerned? The city has invested a lot in new development. The weather takes some getting used to. Property taxes are high but you get good services. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Property taxes are high but you get good services. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting.

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want outdoor recreation, then yeah this place is great. But if school system matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is traffic. there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. Worth doing your research before committing.

From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are improving, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.

I've been living here for 12 years and I'd say there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. The school system is underrated compared to other places I've lived. Overall Feel free to reach out with questions..

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 5 years ago from Portland and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: The market is competitive but not impossible. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in Pine Hills. It's challenging for what you get.
Jobs: The market is affordable right now, especially in marketing. If you're in manufacturing you might struggle.
People: Generally better than expected. It took about 14 months to build a solid friend group.
