I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is safety. there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. Worth doing your research before committing.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 2 years ago from Boston and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: The market is competitive but not impossible. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in Springfield. It's underrated for what you get.

Jobs: The market is developing right now, especially in real estate. If you're in finance you might struggle.

People: Generally surprisingly good. It took about 17 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: surprisingly good. Tons of options if you like Korean.

Hope this helps!.

I've lived in Lakewood for about 2 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

I have mixed feelings honestly. When I first moved here from Charlotte, I was surprised by nightlife. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Good schools in most areas
- Good healthcare facilities
- The pet-friendliness scene is excellent

The downsides:
- Traffic during rush hour is rough
- Limited shopping options

Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for young professionals. Definitely worth checking out..
