Cost of living reality check -Placentia

Hey, I grew up here but left for a while. Homes are going for about $871,000 on average. The unemployment rate is 3.6%, which is pretty low. Crime rate is something to consider -Placentia sits at 371.0 per 100K. Median household income is $110,575, which feels pretty solid for the area. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The suburbs are where most families end up.

Pros:
- Friendly people
- Good schools
- Lots of new development
- Strong sense of community
- Active local events

Cons:
- Hot summers
- Not very walkable
- Chain restaurants dominate
