Anyone else feel this way? I'm a college student here and Crime rate is something to consider -Paulsboro sits at 240.2 per 100K. Household incomes average around $68,750 in Paulsboro. The weather takes some getting used to. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Has anyone dealt with this? It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a nurse who relocated here from New York about 12 years ago. The main reasons were my partner's job and cost of living.
Pros I've experienced:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Lots of new development happening
- Close to major attractions
Cons that are real:
- Summers can be brutally hot
- Limited shopping options
Financially, we've found it decent compared to where we came from. The market is competitive but not impossible. Groceries are stable, gas is excellent.
Socially, it's improved dramatically in recent years. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

Bought a house here in 2019 and it's exactly what I was looking for. Property values have gone up a bit since then.

I'm a writer and I've found I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. The community is excellent and there's always something going on.

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. I have mixed feelings honestly. Internet is surprisingly good in most areas.
