Alice Hernandez best-worst Aug 28, 2025

Anyone else feel this way? I'm a teacher here and Poverty rate is 3.1%, which is pretty low. It's a a small town city with about 13,961 people. Average temperature is around 54--F, so expect cold winters. You can expect to pay around $1,238 for rent here. Property taxes are high but you get good services. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Am I overthinking this? TIA! People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The weather takes some getting used to. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The suburbs are where most families end up. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods.
