OK so Rent is about $911/month for a decent place. With a population of 46,432, Salina is a smaller city. Crime rate is something to consider -Salina sits at 457.4 per 100K. Homes are going for about $164,500 on average. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Thoughts? There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The food scene here is surprisingly good. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The suburbs are where most families end up.

Bought a house here in 2019 and there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. Property values have gone up a bit since then.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem pretty good.
I've been here 15 years and it's exactly what I was looking for. The thing nobody mentions is public transit. It's reasonable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the community vibe is legit. And if you're into kayaking, this place is pretty good.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Sunset side vs the Springfield side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Good luck with whatever you decide..

We moved here with our family and it's exactly what I was looking for. Schools in West area are decent. Kids love it here.
