Longtime lurker here, Just moved here 3 months ago and The median home value here is around $532,100, which is pretty steep. The unemployment rate is 3.5%, which is pretty low. Crime rate is something to consider -Palm City sits at 395.1 per 100K. You can expect to pay around $1,965 for rent here. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The suburbs are where most families end up. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.
