Been meaning to ask this. I'm a college student here and Crime rate is something to consider -Salisbury sits at 735.0 per 100K. It's a a smaller city city with about 35,730 people. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus.

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

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a nurse who relocated here from Tampa about 9 years ago. The main reasons were a job opportunity and a job opportunity.
Pros I've experienced:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Lots of new development happening
Cons that are real:
- Limited public transit options
- Far from beaches/mountains
Financially, we've found it pretty good compared to where we came from. Lots of new construction which should help. Groceries are wild, gas is underrated.
Socially, there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. It's not for everyone but it works for us..

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem excellent.
I've been here 2 years and I have mixed feelings honestly. The thing nobody mentions is pet-friendliness. It's affordable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the traffic is legit. And if you're into photography, this place is pretty good.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The North side vs the Meadowbrook side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Good luck with whatever you decide..

I'm a contractor and I've found it's not perfect but it works for me. The community is hit or miss and there's always something going on.

I've been here 15 years and I have mixed feelings honestly. The thing nobody mentions is cost of living. It's manageable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the food scene is legit. And if you're into surfing, this place is average.
