Public transit is tough here. You'll probably need a car for most things. it's improved dramatically in recent years.

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Internet is excellent in most areas.

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, it exceeded my expectations. Happy to answer more specific questions..

I've lived in East for about 7 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I have mixed feelings honestly. When I first moved here from LA, I was surprised by school system. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Strong job market in several industries
- Four distinct seasons
- The pet-friendliness scene is excellent
The downsides:
- Road conditions need improvement
- Limited entertainment options
Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for retirees. Definitely worth checking out..

As someone who grew up here, I love the pace of life here. A lot has changed in the past few years though. cultural scene used to be much stable but now it's excellent.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 2 years ago from Tampa and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Greenfield. It's solid for what you get.
Jobs: The market is established right now, especially in manufacturing. If you're in marketing you might struggle.
People: Generally average. It took about 3 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: challenging. Tons of options if you like Italian.
Good luck with whatever you decide..
