Job hunting in Ossining -tips?

Hey, I grew up here but left for a while. Rent is about $2,108/month for a decent place. Median household income is $100,997, which feels pretty solid for the area. Average temperature is around 49--F, so expect cold winters. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. What would you do? Looking forward to hearing from you all. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable.

I've lived in Old Town for about 6 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

I'm still on the fence after all this time. When I first moved here from Raleigh, I was surprised by outdoor recreation. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Active local events and festivals
- The healthcare scene is challenging

The downsides:
- Urban sprawl is real
- Road conditions need improvement

Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for retirees. Hope this helps!.

I've been living here for 6 years and I'd say I have mixed feelings honestly. The housing market is excellent compared to other places I've lived. Overall Good luck with whatever you decide..

Hot take but it's improved dramatically in recent years. I know a lot of people disagree but after 15 years here, that's my honest assessment.
