Is Napa worth it salary-wise?

Been living here since 2014. Homes are going for about $824,500 on average. Median household income is $102,231, which feels pretty solid for the area. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Has anyone dealt with this?

I've lived in Meadowbrook for about 2 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it was the best decision I ever made. When I first moved here from Boston, I was surprised by cost of living. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Good healthcare facilities
- Lots of new development happening
- The pet-friendliness scene is improving

The downsides:
- Limited high-paying job options
- Bugs and humidity in summer

Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for families. Good luck with whatever you decide..

My experience has been mostly positive. it's not perfect but it works for me. The only thing I'd watch out for is public transit. Other than that, Good luck with whatever you decide..
