Worst things about Temescal Valley nobody talks about
I'm a remote worker and Poverty rate is 4.7%, which is pretty low. Median household income is $119,647, which feels pretty solid for the area. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Thoughts? Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The weather takes some getting used to. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a accountant who relocated here from Denver about 11 years ago. The main reasons were cost of living and family.
Pros I've experienced:
- Nice parks and green spaces
- Good healthcare facilities
- Affordable housing options
Cons that are real:
- Dating scene is rough
- Limited entertainment options
Financially, we've found it decent compared to where we came from. It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. Groceries are manageable, gas is challenging.
Socially, I love the pace of life here. Happy to answer more specific questions..
