Cost of living reality check -New Bedford
You can expect to pay around $1,085 for rent here. Am I overthinking this?

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem solid.
I've been here 4 years and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. The thing nobody mentions is cultural scene. It's developing and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the pet-friendliness is legit. And if you're into surfing, this place is improving.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The The Heights side vs the Riverside side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Definitely worth checking out..

We moved here with our family and it exceeded my expectations. Schools in Lakewood area are challenging. Kids love it here.

I've lived in Meadowbrook for about 8 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I love the pace of life here. When I first moved here from Charlotte, I was surprised by dating scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Good internet infrastructure
- Four distinct seasons
- The outdoor recreation scene is excellent
The downsides:
- Traffic during rush hour is rough
- Limited shopping options
Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for remote workers. Hope this helps!.
