Starting a business in Sierra Madre?

Hey everyone, I'm a college student here and Household incomes average around $141,094 in Sierra Madre. Median household income is $141,094, which feels pretty solid for the area. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting.

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

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a sales manager who relocated here from Atlanta about 9 years ago. The main reasons were a job opportunity and quality of life.

Pros I've experienced:
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- Good airport with direct flights
- Lots of family-friendly activities

Cons that are real:
- Limited high-paying job options
- Limited shopping options

Financially, we've found it challenging compared to where we came from. Older homes are where the value is. Groceries are reasonable, gas is average.

Socially, there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. Good luck with whatever you decide..
