Moving to Strongsville with kids -good idea?

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a writer who relocated here from Portland about 4 years ago. The main reasons were work and quality of life.

Pros I've experienced:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Four distinct seasons
- Diverse dining options

Cons that are real:
- Not a lot of cultural diversity
- Dating scene is rough

Financially, we've found it challenging compared to where we came from. The market is competitive but not impossible. Groceries are affordable, gas is decent.

Socially, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Definitely worth checking out..
