Rent is about $2,557/month for a decent place. You can expect to pay around $2,557 for rent here. The median home value here is around $695,100, which is pretty steep. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The food scene here is surprisingly good. What would you do? Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a pharmacist who relocated here from Seattle about 10 years ago. The main reasons were family and family.
Pros I've experienced:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Good internet infrastructure
Cons that are real:
- Can feel isolated
- Limited entertainment options
Financially, we've found it decent compared to where we came from. If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. Groceries are growing, gas is challenging.
Socially, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Good luck with whatever you decide..

I've lived in Cedar Grove for about 4 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it exceeded my expectations. When I first moved here from Denver, I was surprised by healthcare. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- The traffic scene is challenging
The downsides:
- Traffic during rush hour is rough
- Homeless population growing downtown
Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for families. Definitely worth checking out..

My experience has been mostly positive. it's improved dramatically in recent years. The only thing I'd watch out for is weather. Other than that, Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..
