Anyone work in healthcare in Riverbank?

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a project manager who relocated here from Houston about 11 years ago. The main reasons were weather and a job opportunity.

Pros I've experienced:
- Strong job market in several industries
- Close to major attractions
- Good airport with direct flights

Cons that are real:
- Not very walkable outside downtown
- Limited high-paying job options

Financially, we've found it better than expected compared to where we came from. Lots of new construction which should help. Groceries are manageable, gas is tough.

Socially, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Would recommend to anyone considering it..

We moved here with our family and I genuinely enjoy living here. Schools in Pine Hills area are pretty good. Kids love it here.

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, it's not perfect but it works for me. Happy to answer more specific questions..
