Rent in Rotterdam getting crazy

Hey everyone, Rent is about $1,212/month for a decent place. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. What would you do? The city has invested a lot in new development. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly.

Weather-wise, the summers are solid and winters are competitive. You get used to it after the first year.

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want outdoor recreation, then yeah this place is great. But if pet-friendliness matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is public transit. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Worth doing your research before committing.

I work in retail here and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. The job market for my field is better than expected. Definitely worth checking out..

I've lived in Oak Park for about 2 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 weather. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Good schools in most areas
- Affordable housing options
- The nightlife scene is pretty good

The downsides:
- Winters are long and cold
- Limited shopping options

Overall I'd rate it 8/10 for retirees. No regrets on my end..
