Living in Ridgewood -the reality

Hey everyone, The suburbs are where most families end up. Should I be concerned?

Used to live on the Downtown side, now on the Greenfield side. Completely different vibe. I genuinely enjoy living here.

Hot take but the quality of life is solid. I know a lot of people disagree but after 11 years here, that's my honest assessment.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 6 years ago from San Francisco 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 Maple Ridge. It's surprisingly good for what you get.

Jobs: The market is wild right now, especially in hospitality. If you're in finance you might struggle.

People: Generally surprisingly good. It took about 14 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: tough. Tons of options if you like craft beer.

Good luck with whatever you decide..
