Curious what people think. My family moved here when I was a kid. The median home value here is around $445,100, which is pretty steep. Crime rate is something to consider -Saratoga Springs sits at 227.1 per 100K. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Is this normal for Saratoga Springs? The city has invested a lot in new development. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly.

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want outdoor recreation, then yeah this place is great. But if cost of living matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.

I've lived in The Heights for about 14 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it's improved dramatically in recent years. When I first moved here from Atlanta, I was surprised by cost of living. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Nice parks and green spaces
- Lots of new development happening
- The pet-friendliness scene is pretty good
The downsides:
- Summers can be brutally hot
- Limited high-paying job options
Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for young professionals. Feel free to reach out with questions..
