Pros and cons of Saranap after 12 years

So, My partner and I are Median household income is $152,821, which feels pretty solid for the area. Average temperature is around 62--F, so the weather is moderate. Homes are going for about $1,391,300 on average. You can expect to pay around $2,644 for rent here. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The suburbs are where most families end up. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.

Pros:
- Low crime in most areas
- Close to nature
- Diverse community

Cons:
- Not very walkable
- High property taxes
- Lack of diversity
- Few job opportunities in some fields
- Mosquitoes and humidity
