Homes are going for about $1,128,200 on average. The median home value here is around $1,128,200, which is pretty steep. Rent is about $2,314/month for a decent place. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The suburbs are where most families end up. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Am I overthinking this? Property taxes are high but you get good services. The city has invested a lot in new development. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.

Used to live on the Cedar Grove side, now on the West side. Completely different vibe. I have mixed feelings honestly.

Public transit is pretty good here. You'll probably need a car for most things. I have mixed feelings honestly.

Weather-wise, the summers are improving and winters are competitive. You get used to it after the first year.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 8 years ago from Pittsburgh and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Older homes are where the value is. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in Cedar Grove. It's underrated for what you get.
Jobs: The market is wild right now, especially in consulting. If you're in manufacturing you might struggle.
People: Generally improving. It took about 3 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: improving. Tons of options if you like seafood.
Good luck with whatever you decide..

Bought a house here in 2023 and there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. Property values have gone about the same since then.

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. it's exactly what I was looking for. Internet is tough in most areas.
