Moving to Sherwood for work -advice?

Curious what people think. I'm a college student here and The median home value here is around $190,900, which is actually reasonable. Average temperature is around 62--F, so the weather is moderate. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. What would you do? Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The suburbs are where most families end up. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The weather takes some getting used to. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level.

I've lived in Meadowbrook for about 14 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

I love the pace of life here. When I first moved here from Austin, I was surprised by dating scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:

- Growing food and restaurant scene

- Low crime in most neighborhoods

- The weather scene is solid

The downsides:

- Summers can be brutally hot

- Not very walkable outside downtown

Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for families. Would recommend to anyone considering it..
