Is New Hope good for remote workers?

Longtime lurker here, The median home value here is around $314,600, which seems about average. Crime rate is something to consider -New Hope sits at 94.6 per 100K. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Am I overthinking this? TIA! Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The weather takes some getting used to. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.

If you value dating scene, you'll love it. The job market is genuinely decent and I've found the quality of life is solid. My neighborhood (Downtown) is developing and I feel safe walking around at night.

But if you're coming from Baltimore, be prepared for the culture shock. pet-friendliness is completely different here. And Summers can be brutally hot.

My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.
