Crime rate is something to consider -Stanton sits at 248.2 per 100K. Poverty rate is 9.4%, which is pretty low. The median home value here is around $541,000, which is pretty steep. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Has anyone dealt with this? Thanks for reading. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The food scene here is surprisingly good. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus.

As someone who grew up here, I'm still on the fence after all this time. A lot has changed in the past few years though. public transit used to be much reasonable but now it's tough.

I've lived in Fairview for about 4 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I love the pace of life here. When I first moved here from Baltimore, I was surprised by weather. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Strong job market in several industries
- Lots of new development happening
- The pet-friendliness scene is pretty good
The downsides:
- Nightlife is limited
- Chain restaurants dominate
Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for young professionals. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

Public transit is tough here. You'll probably need a car for most things. it was the best decision I ever made.

We moved here with our family and it's exactly what I was looking for. Schools in Downtown area are underrated. Kids love it here.
