Working in Parma -salaries realistic?

Anyone else feel this way? Poverty rate is 6.3%, which is pretty low. You can expect to pay around $1,053 for rent here. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The suburbs are where most families end up.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 3 years ago from San Diego and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: Older homes are where the value is. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in South. It's challenging for what you get.

Jobs: The market is wild right now, especially in retail. If you're in healthcare you might struggle.

People: Generally solid. It took about 3 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: average. Tons of options if you like Thai.

It's not for everyone but it works for us..

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, I love the pace of life here. Hope this helps!.

I've lived in Springfield for about 2 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it's exactly what I was looking for. When I first moved here from Miami, I was surprised by traffic. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- The dating scene scene is excellent

The downsides:
- Summers can be brutally hot
- Not a lot of cultural diversity

Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for remote workers. Hope this helps!.
