Curious what people think. I'm a nurse at the local hospital and Rent is about $1,337/month for a decent place. Poverty rate is 15.2%, which is higher than I expected. The unemployment rate is 3.7%, which is pretty low. With a population of 35,782, Norristown is a smaller city. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Am I overthinking this? The city has invested a lot in new development. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The food scene here is surprisingly good. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The weather takes some getting used to. The suburbs are where most families end up.
