Hey, My family moved here when I was a kid. Crime rate is something to consider -North Bay Shore sits at 22.0 per 100K. Homes are going for about $449,900 on average. Poverty rate is 6.0%, which is pretty low. Median household income is $117,893, which feels pretty solid for the area. Property taxes are high but you get good services. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The food scene here is surprisingly good. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Is this normal for North Bay Shore? People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The suburbs are where most families end up. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.
