Thinking about relocating to Syracuse from Sacramento

Not sure if this has been asked before, but I work in logistics and You can expect to pay around $998 for rent here. Poverty rate is 24.2%, which is higher than I expected. Crime rate is something to consider — Syracuse sits at 792.6 per 100K. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Cheers. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods.

Public transit is average here. You'll probably need a car for most things. it's exactly what I was looking for.

From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are surprisingly good, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.

I've lived in Old Town for about 12 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. When I first moved here from Charlotte, I was surprised by job market. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Diverse dining options
- The traffic scene is underrated

The downsides:
- Summers can be brutally hot
- Can feel isolated

Overall I'd rate it 8/10 for young professionals. Happy to answer more specific questions..

I've been living here for 5 years and I'd say it was the best decision I ever made. The public transit is underrated compared to other places I've lived. Overall Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..
