Relocating to Rockville Centre, NY -pros and cons?
Been meaning to ask this. Poverty rate is 3.0%, which is pretty low. The food scene here is surprisingly good.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 8 years ago from Austin and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in Riverside. It's solid for what you get.
Jobs: The market is developing right now, especially in retail. If you're in education you might struggle.
People: Generally tough. It took about 6 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: excellent. Tons of options if you like Italian.
Feel free to reach out with questions..

I've lived in Old Town for about 3 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it was the best decision I ever made. When I first moved here from Salt Lake City, I was surprised by healthcare. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Decent public transit for the size
- The healthcare scene is solid
The downsides:
- Can feel isolated
- Homeless population growing downtown
Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for families. Feel free to reach out with questions..
