Why I chose Parkland over bigger cities
I relocated for work and Average temperature is around 54--F, so expect cold winters. Rent is about $1,593/month for a decent place. Homes are going for about $382,700 on average. Median household income is $71,829, which feels about average for the area. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The weather takes some getting used to. The city has invested a lot in new development.
Pros:
- Great weather
- Friendly people
- Diverse community
- Plenty of shopping options
- Good airport connections
Cons:
- Cold winters
- Poor road conditions
- Limited cultural events
- Not enough green space
Property taxes are high but you get good services. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much.
