Why I chose New Albany over bigger cities
My partner and I are Average temperature is around 54--F, so expect cold winters. Rent is about $2,134/month for a decent place. Homes are going for about $728,200 on average. Poverty rate is 0.7%, which is pretty low. The median home value here is around $728,200, which is pretty steep. The suburbs are where most families end up. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.
Pros:
- Good job market
- Diverse community
- Strong sense of community
- Active local events
Cons:
- Rising rent prices
- Limited nightlife
- Lack of diversity
- Few job opportunities in some fields
- Boring for young people
Anyone in a similar situation? Any help is appreciated. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.

I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable.
