Raising a family in Parkwood -thoughts?

Median household income is $92,188, which feels pretty solid for the area. Crime rate is something to consider -Parkwood sits at 601.0 per 100K. With a population of 6,976, Parkwood is a small town. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The weather takes some getting used to. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The city has invested a lot in new development. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.

I'm a marketing manager and I've found I have mixed feelings honestly. The community is hit or miss and there's always something going on.
