North Windham vs Phoenix -which is better?

Matthew Brown Jan 15, 2025

I've been living here for 1 years and I'd say it's exactly what I was looking for. The cultural scene is surprisingly good compared to other places I've lived. Overall It's not for everyone but it works for us..

I work in finance here and it's been a really good experience overall. The job market for my field is better than expected. No regrets on my end..

I've lived in Oak Park for about 11 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it's exactly what I was looking for. When I first moved here from San Francisco, I was surprised by food scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Decent public transit for the size
- The healthcare scene is solid

The downsides:
- Limited high-paying job options
- Homeless population growing downtown

Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for retirees. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

I've lived in Riverside for about 9 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. When I first moved here from Raleigh, I was surprised by food scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- Four distinct seasons
- The safety scene is tough

The downsides:
- Limited shopping options
- Homeless population growing downtown

Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for retirees. Definitely worth checking out..
