What I wish I knew before living in Olney

Alright, The median home value here is around $632,400, which is pretty steep. Median household income is $171,766, which feels pretty solid for the area. You can expect to pay around $2,409 for rent here. It's a a smaller city city with about 36,000 people. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.

Pros:
- Great weather
- Good healthcare facilities
- Walkable downtown

Cons:
- Traffic can be terrible
- Rising rent prices
- Far from major airports

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want healthcare, then yeah this place is great. But if weather matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.
