Selma housing prices -when will it stop?
Hi all, Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. It's not perfect, but the community is solid.

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want job market, then yeah this place is great. But if community vibe matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 3 years ago from Miami and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in Downtown. It's average for what you get.
Jobs: The market is manageable right now, especially in engineering. If you're in engineering you might struggle.
People: Generally excellent. It took about 3 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: surprisingly good. Tons of options if you like Vietnamese.
No regrets on my end..

Hot take but it was the best decision I ever made. I know a lot of people disagree but after 4 years here, that's my honest assessment.

My experience has been mostly positive. it exceeded my expectations. The only thing I'd watch out for is pet-friendliness. Other than that, Hope this helps!.

Moved here from Dallas about 6 years ago. I genuinely enjoy living here. Still getting used to pet-friendliness but Definitely worth checking out..

I'm a social worker and I've found there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. The community is tough and there's always something going on.

From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are better than expected, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 8 years ago from Salt Lake City and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Lots of new construction which should help. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Greenfield. It's average for what you get.
Jobs: The market is affordable right now, especially in manufacturing. If you're in marketing you might struggle.
People: Generally excellent. It took about 10 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: underrated. Tons of options if you like Korean.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 5 years ago from Boston and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in Greenfield. It's tough for what you get.
Jobs: The market is developing right now, especially in retail. If you're in government you might struggle.
People: Generally surprisingly good. It took about 6 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: solid. Tons of options if you like Mexican.
Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

Bought a house here in 2023 and it's improved dramatically in recent years. Property values have gone up a bit since then.

Used to live on the Fairview side, now on the Greenfield side. Completely different vibe. I have mixed feelings honestly.
