Moving to New Albany with kids -good idea?

First post here. We have two kids and Rent is about $971/month for a decent place. Average temperature is around 58--F, so the weather is moderate. The weather takes some getting used to. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Worth the trade-offs? Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much.

I work in real estate here and it was the best decision I ever made. The job market for my field is average. Happy to answer more specific questions..

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 2-bedroom. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Compared to Charlotte it's tough.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem pretty good.

I've been here 11 years and I have mixed feelings honestly. The thing nobody mentions is walkability. It's reasonable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the cultural scene is legit. And if you're into hiking, this place is better than expected.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Maple Ridge side vs the Pine Hills side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
