Nanticoke quality of life -am I missing something?

Hey everyone, Homes are going for about $103,800 on average. Rent is about $787/month for a decent place. Average temperature is around 47--F, so expect cold winters. Poverty rate is 15.2%, which is higher than I expected. The suburbs are where most families end up. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Is this normal for Nanticoke? Any help is appreciated. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The city has invested a lot in new development. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 4 years ago from Charlotte and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in Lakewood. It's improving for what you get.

Jobs: The market is stable right now, especially in construction. If you're in tech you might struggle.

People: Generally underrated. It took about 14 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: hit or miss. Tons of options if you like seafood.

It's not for everyone but it works for us..
