Cost of living reality check -South River

So, I'm originally from New York and Poverty rate is 9.5%, which is pretty low. Homes are going for about $382,500 on average. Median household income is $101,853, which feels pretty solid for the area. The median home value here is around $382,500, which seems about average. The suburbs are where most families end up. The city has invested a lot in new development. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The weather takes some getting used to. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.

My experience has been mostly positive. I love the pace of life here. The only thing I'd watch out for is community vibe. Other than that, It's not for everyone but it works for us..
