Biggest downsides of living in Newberry?

Hey folks, I'm a nurse at the local hospital and The unemployment rate is 4.3%, which is about average. Average temperature is around 62--F, so the weather is moderate. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Any advice would be great.

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

If you value cost of living, you'll love it. The nightlife is genuinely average and I've found I genuinely enjoy living here. My neighborhood (Cedar Grove) is wild and I feel safe walking around at night.

But if you're coming from Pittsburgh, be prepared for the culture shock. healthcare is completely different here. And Limited high-paying job options.

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.

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want public transit, then yeah this place is great. But if dating scene matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.

Hot take but it exceeded my expectations. I know a lot of people disagree but after 2 years here, that's my honest assessment.
