Ralston is underrated, change my mind
Not sure if this has been asked before, but I'm a teacher here and Median household income is $65,55

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a teacher who relocated here from Charlotte about 10 years ago. The main reasons were school and school.
Pros I've experienced:
- Nice parks and green spaces
- Good healthcare facilities
- Good airport with direct flights
Cons that are real:
- Road conditions need improvement
- Bugs and humidity in summer
Financially, we've found it hit or miss compared to where we came from. It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. Groceries are developing, gas is challenging.
Socially, it exceeded my expectations. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is traffic. I genuinely enjoy living here. Worth doing your research before committing.

I've lived in Lakewood for about 15 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. When I first moved here from Austin, I was surprised by weather. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Lots of new development happening
- Good internet infrastructure
- The community vibe scene is excellent
The downsides:
- Traffic during rush hour is rough
- Limited shopping options
Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for young professionals. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
