Oakdale vs Cleveland -which is better?
Alright, We have two kids and The median home value here is around $432,800, which is pretty steep. You can expect to pay around $1,471 for rent here. Average temperature is around 63--F, so the weather is moderate. It's a a small town city with about 23,155 people. Poverty rate is 10.0%, which is pretty low. The weather takes some getting used to. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.
Pros:
- Nice parks and trails
- Walkable downtown
- Good internet infrastructure
Cons:
- Limited public transit
- High property taxes
- Poor road conditions
- Homelessness issues downtown
- Not enough green space
Is this normal for Oakdale? Property taxes are high but you get good services. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The weather takes some getting used to. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.
