Is Portage still affordable?

Longtime lurker here, Am I wrong here? I'd say it's better for families than young singles.

I've lived in West for about 4 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it's improved dramatically in recent years. When I first moved here from Baltimore, I was surprised by nightlife. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Strong job market in several industries
- The housing market scene is tough

The downsides:
- Not a lot of cultural diversity
- Dating scene is rough

Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for families. Would recommend to anyone considering it..
