Moving to New Brunswick with kids -good idea?

Hi all, You can expect to pay around $1,790 for rent here. Household incomes average around $60,248 in New Brunswick. It's a a smaller city city with about 55,744 people. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Thoughts? The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The city has invested a lot in new development. The suburbs are where most families end up. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable.

I've lived in Meadowbrook for about 14 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

I genuinely enjoy living here. When I first moved here from LA, I was surprised by cultural scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Four distinct seasons
- Diverse dining options
- The public transit scene is improving

The downsides:
- Not very walkable outside downtown
- Dating scene is rough

Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for remote workers. Definitely worth checking out..
