Relocating to Newark, DE -pros and cons?

I'm single, late 30s, and Rent is about $1,611/month for a decent place. It's a a smaller city city with about 30,309 people. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The city has invested a lot in new development. What are your go-to spots? It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The weather takes some getting used to.

Came here for work and stayed because I genuinely enjoy living here. The community vibe is honestly pretty good and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

As someone who grew up here, it was the best decision I ever made. A lot has changed in the past few years though. walkability used to be much reasonable but now it's average.
