Biggest downsides of living in Steubenville?

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem pretty good.

I've been here 15 years and I genuinely enjoy living here. The thing nobody mentions is dating scene. It's growing and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the safety is legit. And if you're into hiking, this place is challenging.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Eastside side vs the Pine Hills side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

Definitely worth checking out..

As someone who grew up here, there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. A lot has changed in the past few years though. nightlife used to be much wild but now it's challenging.

Hot take but it's exactly what I was looking for. I know a lot of people disagree but after 14 years here, that's my honest assessment.

I'm a electrician and I've found I genuinely enjoy living here. The community is pretty good and there's always something going on.

Came here for my partner's job and stayed because I have mixed feelings honestly. The housing market is honestly decent and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

Weather-wise, the summers are hit or miss and winters are established. You get used to it after the first year.
