Hey folks, I'm originally from St. Louis and It's a a smaller city city with about 25,211 people. The median home value here is around $731,900, which is pretty steep. Median household income is $125,117, which feels pretty solid for the area. With a population of 25,211, Norco is a smaller city. Poverty rate is 4.0%, which is pretty low. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The weather takes some getting used to.

Pros:
- Low taxes
- Easy commute
- Plenty of shopping options

Cons:
- Limited public transit
- Hot summers
- High property taxes
- Limited cultural events
- Chain restaurants dominate
