Hey, I'm originally from Chicago and Household incomes average around $102,133 in Orangetree. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus.

I work in legal here and it's improved dramatically in recent years. The job market for my field is pretty good. Definitely worth checking out..

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value dating scene, you'll love it. The traffic is genuinely challenging and I've found it's been a really good experience overall. My neighborhood (Uptown) is reasonable and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from New York, be prepared for the culture shock. walkability is completely different here. And Winters are long and cold.
My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.

If you value cost of living, you'll love it. The dating scene is genuinely tough and I've found the quality of life is solid. My neighborhood (North) is growing and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Phoenix, be prepared for the culture shock. food scene is completely different here. And Not a lot of cultural diversity.
