Moving to Shirley -what should I know?

Rent is about $2,110/month for a decent place. Homes are going for about $390,300 on average. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Should I be concerned?

Came here for weather and stayed because I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. The weather is honestly surprisingly good and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

I've lived in Cedar Grove for about 1 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it's not perfect but it works for me. When I first moved here from Denver, I was surprised by weather. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Good healthcare facilities
- The community vibe scene is surprisingly good

The downsides:
- Rising rent and home prices
- Homeless population growing downtown

Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for young professionals. Feel free to reach out with questions..

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Definitely worth checking out..
