Is Prior Lake good for remote workers?

Hey folks, It's a a smaller city city with about 27,832 people. You can expect to pay around $1,548 for rent here. Rent is about $1,548/month for a decent place. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. TIA! It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem improving.

I've been here 11 years and it's improved dramatically in recent years. The thing nobody mentions is walkability. It's pricey and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the food scene is legit. And if you're into running, this place is hit or miss.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Lakewood side vs the Greenfield side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

Happy to answer more specific questions..
