Cheapest neighborhoods in Palm Harbor?
Random thought, It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Any advice would be great.

I've lived in Old Town for about 8 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it's exactly what I was looking for. When I first moved here from Denver, I was surprised by cultural scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Four distinct seasons
- The public transit scene is pretty good
The downsides:
- Summers can be brutally hot
- Not very walkable outside downtown
Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for singles. It's not for everyone but it works for us..

We moved here with our family and I genuinely enjoy living here. Schools in East area are pretty good. Kids love it here.

From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are better than expected, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a accountant who relocated here from Portland about 1 years ago. The main reasons were work and quality of life.
Pros I've experienced:
- Good schools in most areas
- Good healthcare facilities
- Decent public transit for the size
Cons that are real:
- Road conditions need improvement
- Bugs and humidity in summer
Financially, we've found it tough compared to where we came from. Lots of new construction which should help. Groceries are wild, gas is decent.
Socially, I genuinely enjoy living here. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is healthcare. it exceeded my expectations. Worth doing your research before committing.
