Freelancing from Spring -experience?

Curious what people think. I relocated for work and Homes are going for about $221,300 on average. Median household income is $86,888, which feels pretty solid for the area. Poverty rate is 6.5%, which is pretty low. Crime rate is something to consider -Spring sits at 63.2 per 100K. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Am I wrong here? Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. 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 city has invested a lot in new development. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.

Used to live on the Downtown side, now on the Oak Park side. Completely different vibe. I genuinely enjoy living here.
