Is Quincy still affordable?

Not sure if this has been asked before, but I've been here for 5 years and It's a a mid-size city city with about 101K people. Median household income is $95,711, which feels pretty solid for the area. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Has anyone dealt with this?

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is nightlife. I'm still on the fence after all this time. Worth doing your research before committing.

I've lived in Uptown for about 11 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. When I first moved here from Chicago, I was surprised by community vibe. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Good internet infrastructure
- Close to major attractions
- The dating scene scene is pretty good

The downsides:
- Road conditions need improvement
- Dating scene is rough

Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for families. Would recommend to anyone considering it..

From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are average, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.
