So, I'm a college student here and Median household income is $105,342, which feels pretty solid for the area. With a population of 47,595, Oro Valley is a smaller city. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The suburbs are where most families end up. Does this match your experience?

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 15 years ago from Tampa and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Older homes are where the value is. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in Springfield. It's solid for what you get.
Jobs: The market is established right now, especially in engineering. If you're in tech you might struggle.
People: Generally solid. It took about 7 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: improving. Tons of options if you like Mediterranean.
Would recommend to anyone considering it..

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 4 years ago from San Francisco and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in Eastside. It's decent for what you get.
Jobs: The market is pricey right now, especially in finance. If you're in education you might struggle.
People: Generally average. It took about 17 months to build a solid friend group.
