Job hunting in Palmetto -tips?

Hello, Crime rate is something to consider -Palmetto sits at 563.0 per 100K. Property taxes are high but you get good services. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. What do you all think? Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The weather takes some getting used to.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.

If you value job market, you'll love it. The community vibe is genuinely underrated and I've found it exceeded my expectations. My neighborhood (Lakewood) is pricey and I feel safe walking around at night.

But if you're coming from Baltimore, be prepared for the culture shock. weather is completely different here. And Not very walkable outside downtown.

My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem hit or miss.

I've been here 9 years and I'm still on the fence after all this time. The thing nobody mentions is pet-friendliness. It's wild and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the walkability is legit. And if you're into golfing, this place is average.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Uptown side vs the Pine Hills side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

Feel free to reach out with questions..

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