Why I chose Salida over bigger cities

You can expect to pay around $2,004 for rent here. Average temperature is around 61--F, so the weather is moderate. The median home value here is around $448,700, which is pretty steep. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable.

I've lived in Fairview for about 5 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. When I first moved here from Portland, I was surprised by job market. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Strong job market in several industries
- Four distinct seasons
- The job market scene is average

The downsides:
- Limited public transit options
- Not a lot of cultural diversity

Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for singles. It's not for everyone but it works for us..

I'm a HR manager and I've found it's been a really good experience overall. The community is decent and there's always something going on.
