So, I'm a college student here and Median household income is $57,708, which feels about average for the area. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level.

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. Internet is hit or miss in most areas.

I've lived in Lakewood for about 13 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I love the pace of life here. When I first moved here from Tampa, I was surprised by dating scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Active local events and festivals
- The food scene scene is tough
The downsides:
- Property taxes are high
- Road conditions need improvement
Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for couples. Definitely worth checking out..

I've been living here for 1 years and I'd say it's not perfect but it works for me. The healthcare is pretty good compared to other places I've lived. Overall Definitely worth checking out..

Hot take but I love the pace of life here. I know a lot of people disagree but after 9 years here, that's my honest assessment.

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is traffic. I have mixed feelings honestly. Worth doing your research before committing.
