Biggest downsides of living in National City?
Just moved here 4 months ago and It's a a smaller city city with about 55,960 people. The median home value here is around $580,900, which is pretty steep. You can expect to pay around $1,619 for rent here. Average temperature is around 63--F, so the weather is moderate. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The city has invested a lot in new development. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable.
Pros:
- Good job market
- Nice parks and trails
- Active local events
Cons:
- Traffic can be terrible
- Sprawl everywhere
- Far from major airports
- Limited cultural events

The suburbs are where most families end up. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The suburbs are where most families end up. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. It's not perfect, but the community is solid.
