Is it worth buying in Palmetto?

I work in government and Household incomes average around $61,538 in Palmetto. Rent is about $1,286/month for a decent place. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Any advice would be great. The city has invested a lot in new development. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The suburbs are where most families end up.

I've been living here for 8 years and I'd say it's exactly what I was looking for. The nightlife is challenging compared to other places I've lived. Overall Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

I've lived in Riverside for about 3 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

the quality of life is solid. When I first moved here from Portland, I was surprised by food scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Lots of new development happening
- Active local events and festivals
- The community vibe scene is pretty good

The downsides:
- Not very walkable outside downtown
- Bugs and humidity in summer

Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for young professionals. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

Public transit is challenging here. You'll probably need a car for most things. it's not perfect but it works for me.

I've been living here for 4 years and I'd say I'm still on the fence after all this time. The housing market is hit or miss compared to other places I've lived. Overall Good luck with whatever you decide..
