Declan living

Anyone else love living in Oshkosh?

Anyone else feel this way? I'm a nurse at the local hospital and With a population of 66,247, Oshkosh is a smaller city. Homes are going for about $168,400 on average. Average temperature is around 47--F, so expect cold winters. The median home value here is around $168,400, which is actually reasonable. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The suburbs are where most families end up.

Pros:
- Diverse community
- Easy commute
- Good internet infrastructure
- Good airport connections

Cons:
- Traffic can be terrible
- Limited dining options
- Poor road conditions
- Chain restaurants dominate
- Not enough green space

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 4-bedroom. I'm still on the fence after all this time. Compared to Phoenix it's hit or miss.

Weather-wise, the summers are improving and winters are stable. You get used to it after the first year.
