Things Rensselaer needs to improve

Hey folks, Been living here since 2008. Crime rate is something to consider -Rensselaer sits at 146.2 per 100K. The unemployment rate is 3.2%, which is pretty low. The median home value here is around $202,600, which is actually reasonable. The suburbs are where most families end up. The city has invested a lot in new development. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Anyone in a similar situation? The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly.

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is nightlife. it's been a really good experience overall. Worth doing your research before committing.
