Couple moving to Ontario from out of state

Hey folks, Median household income is $43,887, which feels on the lower side for the area. Household incomes average around $43,887 in Ontario. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The city has invested a lot in new development. What neighborhoods would you suggest? Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The food scene here is surprisingly good.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a data analyst who relocated here from Pittsburgh about 5 years ago. The main reasons were quality of life and school.

Pros I've experienced:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Affordable housing options
- Strong sense of community

Cons that are real:
- Not very walkable outside downtown
- Limited entertainment options

Financially, we've found it excellent compared to where we came from. If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. Groceries are pricey, gas is better than expected.

Socially, it's not perfect but it works for me. Definitely worth checking out..
