How are the schools in Sanford?
Poverty rate is 11.1%, which is around average. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is school system. the quality of life is solid. Worth doing your research before committing.

Bought a house here in 2022 and I love the pace of life here. Property values have gone down slightly since then.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value housing market, you'll love it. The job market is genuinely hit or miss and I've found it exceeded my expectations. My neighborhood (Uptown) is affordable and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Minneapolis, be prepared for the culture shock. traffic is completely different here. And Not a lot of cultural diversity.
My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.

I've been living here for 10 years and I'd say it's not perfect but it works for me. The housing market is challenging compared to other places I've lived. Overall Feel free to reach out with questions..

Hot take but the quality of life is solid. I know a lot of people disagree but after 10 years here, that's my honest assessment.
