What I wish I knew before living in Muscatine

Hello, I'm retired and Rent is about $979/month for a decent place. With a population of 23,567, Muscatine is a small town. Crime rate is something to consider -Muscatine sits at 197.3 per 100K. It's a a small town city with about 23,567 people. You can expect to pay around $979 for rent here. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The city has invested a lot in new development. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods.

Pros:
- Great weather
- Good job market
- Low crime in most areas
- Diverse community
- Plenty of shopping options

Cons:
- Limited dining options
- Boring for young people
- Far from major airports
- Not enough green space
Let me know your thoughts. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The suburbs are where most families end up. The food scene here is surprisingly good.
