Anyone else love living in Newtown Grant?

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem excellent.

I've been here 8 years and the quality of life is solid. The thing nobody mentions is weather. It's established and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the walkability is legit. And if you're into fishing, this place is underrated.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Old Town side vs the Cedar Grove side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 13 years ago from LA and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: Lots of new construction which should help. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in Old Town. It's excellent for what you get.

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

People: Generally pretty good. It took about 7 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: surprisingly good. Tons of options if you like Southern.

Feel free to reach out with questions..
