First post here. I'm originally from Sacramento and Homes are going for about $103,700 on average. Poverty rate is 2.8%, which is pretty low. Household incomes average around $66,429 in Shirley. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. What would you do? People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Property taxes are high but you get good services. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level.
