Is public transit usable in South River?

Hello, I'm a college student here and Median household income is $101,853, which feels pretty solid for the area. The weather takes some getting used to. TIA! I'd say it's better for families than young singles.

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want community vibe, then yeah this place is great. But if traffic matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Internet is excellent in most areas.

The food scene here is average. Tons of great seafood places. I have mixed feelings honestly.

The food scene here is improving. Tons of great sushi places. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.

If you value cultural scene, you'll love it. The healthcare is genuinely average and I've found I love the pace of life here. My neighborhood (North) is competitive and I feel safe walking around at night.

But if you're coming from Portland, be prepared for the culture shock. public transit is completely different here. And Nightlife is limited.

My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.
