So, I'm a 39-year-old pharmacist and Crime rate is something to consider -Somerton sits at 214.7 per 100K. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.

I've lived in Greenfield for about 8 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. When I first moved here from San Diego, I was surprised by job market. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Strong job market in several industries
- The walkability scene is solid
The downsides:
- Homeless population growing downtown
- Limited entertainment options
Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for retirees. Good luck with whatever you decide..

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

I've lived in Eastside for about 11 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it's been a really good experience overall. When I first moved here from Portland, I was surprised by nightlife. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Good schools in most areas
- The cost of living scene is challenging
The downsides:
- Limited shopping options
- Dating scene is rough
Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for remote workers. Feel free to reach out with questions..

My experience has been mostly positive. it's improved dramatically in recent years. The only thing I'd watch out for is public transit. Other than that, No regrets on my end..

Hot take but it's been a really good experience overall. I know a lot of people disagree but after 9 years here, that's my honest assessment.

Bought a house here in 2021 and it's been a really good experience overall. Property values have gone up a bit since then.
