First post here. Been living here since 2006. Average temperature is around 55--F, so expect cold winters. With a population of 16,340, Stone Ridge is a small town. Household incomes average around $183,211 in Stone Ridge. Crime rate is something to consider -Stone Ridge sits at 49.9 per 100K. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Worth the trade-offs? Property taxes are high but you get good services. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The suburbs are where most families end up.
