Dog-friendly places in Sausalito?
So, Born and raised here. Poverty rate is 3.4%, which is pretty low. Am I wrong here? Thanks for reading.

Bought a house here in 2023 and the quality of life is solid. Property values have gone about the same since then.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value job market, you'll love it. The cost of living is genuinely solid and I've found I have mixed feelings honestly. My neighborhood (Downtown) is pricey and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from LA, be prepared for the culture shock. food scene is completely different here. And Property taxes are high.
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.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a accountant who relocated here from Charlotte about 11 years ago. The main reasons were a job opportunity and retirement.
Pros I've experienced:
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Strong job market in several industries
- Affordable housing options
Cons that are real:
- Limited public transit options
- Property taxes are high
Financially, we've found it pretty good compared to where we came from. Lots of new construction which should help. Groceries are established, gas is solid.
Socially, I love the pace of life here. Happy to answer more specific questions..

I've been living here for 8 years and I'd say the quality of life is solid. The food scene is underrated compared to other places I've lived. Overall Would recommend to anyone considering it..

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem pretty good.
I've been here 3 years and it was the best decision I ever made. The thing nobody mentions is community vibe. It's stable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the outdoor recreation is legit. And if you're into surfing, this place is improving.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Eastside side vs the Downtown side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Hope this helps!.
