First time home buyer in Paris

Longtime lurker here, Household incomes average around $39,365 in Paris. Am I overthinking this?

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 11 years ago from LA and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: Older homes are where the value is. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in Meadowbrook. It's average for what you get.

Jobs: The market is growing right now, especially in legal. If you're in construction you might struggle.

People: Generally underrated. It took about 7 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: surprisingly good. Tons of options if you like seafood.

Feel free to reach out with questions..

I've lived in Riverside for about 7 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it exceeded my expectations. When I first moved here from Minneapolis, I was surprised by safety. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Good internet infrastructure
- The cultural scene scene is tough

The downsides:
- Limited high-paying job options
- Can feel isolated

Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for young professionals. Definitely worth checking out..
