Planning a move to Nogales -neighborhoods?

So, The unemployment rate is 8.1%, which is concerning. The median home value here is around $172,800, which is actually reasonable. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Does this match your experience?

OK I'm going to write a proper review because I've seen too many incomplete answers.

Background: I'm a sales manager, 32, moved here 6 years ago from San Francisco. I've lived in East and South, and traveled to most parts of the metro.

**What I love:**
1. Good healthcare facilities
2. Decent public transit for the size
3. Lots of family-friendly activities
4. The people are generally decent - I found my community within the first year

**What I don't love:**
1. Winters are long and cold
2. Road conditions need improvement
3. The public transit situation is reasonable and doesn't seem to be improving

**Neighborhoods I'd recommend:**
- East: Great for young professionals. pretty good vibes, walkable.
- South: More affordable, family-friendly.

**Neighborhoods I'd avoid:**
- Without naming names, stay away from areas east of downtown until you know the city better.

**Cost comparison:**
Coming from San Francisco, everything felt tough. Rent is about /mo. Groceries are developing. Gas is growing. You can live comfortably on $60K-$140K here.

**Final verdict:**
Hope this helps!. It's not perfect - nowhere is - but for the price point and quality of life, it's hard to beat. DM me if you have specific questions.
