Crime rate is something to consider -Philomath sits at 21.9 per 100K. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Am I overthinking this? Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The suburbs are where most families end up. The city has invested a lot in new development. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The weather takes some getting used to.
