First post here. Average temperature is around 63--F, so the weather is moderate. Household incomes average around $64,248 in National City. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 15 years ago from Atlanta and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Lots of new construction which should help. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in Riverside. It's better than expected for what you get.
Jobs: The market is established right now, especially in retail. If you're in construction you might struggle.
People: Generally excellent. It took about 14 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: decent. Tons of options if you like Mexican.
