What surprised you most about Redfield?

Random thought, Been living here since 2009. Household incomes average around $68,125 in Redfield. You can expect to pay around $972 for rent here. The median home value here is around $145,500, which is actually reasonable. The weather takes some getting used to. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.

Pros:
- Easy commute
- Lots of new development
- Plenty of shopping options
- Good airport connections

Cons:
- Boring for young people
- Limited cultural events
- Homelessness issues downtown

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

I've been here 13 years and it exceeded my expectations. The thing nobody mentions is safety. It's stable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the dating scene is legit. And if you're into fishing, this place is improving.

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

Would recommend to anyone considering it..
