Is Taunton a good place to live?

Anyone else feel this way? My partner and I are The unemployment rate is 3.8%, which is pretty low. With a population of 59,719, Taunton is a smaller city. Median household income is $79,715, which feels about average for the area. You can expect to pay around $1,269 for rent here. Household incomes average around $79,715 in Taunton. The food scene here is surprisingly good. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting.

Pros:
- Low crime in most areas
- Diverse community
- Strong sense of community
- Plenty of shopping options

Cons:
- Limited public transit
- Few job opportunities in some fields
- Boring for young people
- Poor road conditions
- Mosquitoes and humidity
What would you do? Cheers. Property taxes are high but you get good services. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The suburbs are where most families end up. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. It's not perfect, but the community is solid.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 2 years ago from Raleigh and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in West. It's challenging for what you get.

Jobs: The market is reasonable right now, especially in tech. If you're in manufacturing you might struggle.

People: Generally challenging. It took about 18 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: improving. Tons of options if you like Mexican.

Good luck with whatever you decide..
