Moving to Temple City for work -advice?

It's a a smaller city city with about 35,749 people. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Anyone in a similar situation?

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.

If you value cultural scene, you'll love it. The cultural scene is genuinely hit or miss and I've found it was the best decision I ever made. My neighborhood (West) is developing and I feel safe walking around at night.

But if you're coming from Portland, be prepared for the culture shock. food scene is completely different here. And Limited public transit options.

My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.

If you value school system, you'll love it. The cost of living is genuinely underrated and I've found I love the pace of life here. My neighborhood (Springfield) is affordable and I feel safe walking around at night.

But if you're coming from Raleigh, be prepared for the culture shock. pet-friendliness is completely different here. And Rising rent and home prices.
