Thinking about relocating to Pawcatuck from Chicago

Been meaning to ask this. Just moved here 2 months ago and It's a a small town city with about 5,475 people. Homes are going for about $330,700 on average. The median home value here is around $330,700, which seems about average. The unemployment rate is 3.0%, which is pretty low. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Any advice would be great. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Property taxes are high but you get good services.

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. I'm still on the fence after all this time. Internet is improving in most areas.

I work in manufacturing here and it's exactly what I was looking for. The job market for my field is solid. No regrets on my end..

Bought a house here in 2017 and I'm still on the fence after all this time. Property values have gone up significantly since then.

Hot take but it's not perfect but it works for me. I know a lot of people disagree but after 10 years here, that's my honest assessment.

I'm a nurse and I've found I have mixed feelings honestly. The community is surprisingly good and there's always something going on.
