Best coffee shops in National City?

Hey, Military spouse here. Any advice would be great. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable.

As someone who grew up here, it's improved dramatically in recent years. A lot has changed in the past few years though. traffic used to be much growing but now it's underrated.

I've lived in Westside for about 9 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

I genuinely enjoy living here. When I first moved here from New York, I was surprised by cost of living. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Good schools in most areas
- The dating scene scene is challenging

The downsides:
- Property taxes are high
- Chain restaurants dominate

Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for young professionals. Feel free to reach out with questions..
