Is New Whiteland walkable?

Random thought, Military spouse here. It's a a small town city with about 5,641 people. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The suburbs are where most families end up. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 4 years ago from Portland and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: Lots of new construction which should help. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Lakewood. It's solid for what you get.

Jobs: The market is manageable right now, especially in government. If you're in healthcare you might struggle.

People: Generally pretty good. It took about 10 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: average. Tons of options if you like craft beer.

Hope this helps!.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 15 years ago from San Francisco and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: The market is competitive but not impossible. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Cedar Grove. It's underrated for what you get.

Jobs: The market is reasonable right now, especially in finance. If you're in government you might struggle.

People: Generally decent. It took about 16 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: pretty good. Tons of options if you like sushi.

Happy to answer more specific questions..
