The good and bad of living in Susanville

Not sure if this has been asked before, but Born and raised here. The median home value here is around $234,000, which is actually reasonable. You can expect to pay around $905 for rent here. Household incomes average around $57,607 in Susanville. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Property taxes are high but you get good services. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.

Pros:
- Low crime in most areas
- Diverse community
- Good internet infrastructure

Cons:
- Rising rent prices
- Not very walkable
- Lack of diversity
Anyone in a similar situation? There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Property taxes are high but you get good services. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The weather takes some getting used to. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.

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