Is San Benito good for remote workers?
Rent is about $885/month for a decent place. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Thoughts?

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem tough.
I've been here 11 years and it's exactly what I was looking for. The thing nobody mentions is school system. It's pricey and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the housing market is legit. And if you're into rock climbing, this place is solid.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Midtown side vs the Oak Park side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
It's not for everyone but it works for us..

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 7 years ago from LA and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: The market is competitive but not impossible. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in Lakewood. It's underrated for what you get.
Jobs: The market is manageable right now, especially in education. If you're in engineering you might struggle.
People: Generally decent. It took about 10 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: average. Tons of options if you like Thai.
Definitely worth checking out..

I've lived in The Heights for about 11 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I genuinely enjoy living here. When I first moved here from Raleigh, I was surprised by community vibe. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- The food scene scene is challenging
The downsides:
- Nightlife is limited
- Limited high-paying job options
Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for singles. Feel free to reach out with questions..
