Evelyn C. best-worst Mar 28, 2026

Hey everyone, My partner and I are Median household income is $66,702, which feels about average for the area. The unemployment rate is 3.1%, which is pretty low. The median home value here is around $215,100, which is actually reasonable. Poverty rate is 11.4%, which is around average. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Anyone in a similar situation? Any help is appreciated. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The suburbs are where most families end up. Property taxes are high but you get good services.
