Hi all, It's a a mid-size city city with about 126K people. The median home value here is around $130,600, which is actually reasonable. The unemployment rate is 3.0%, which is pretty low. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. It's changing fast — some good, some not so much. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The city has invested a lot in new development. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The suburbs are where most families end up.

Bought a house here in 2015 and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Property values have gone down slightly since then.

I've lived in Greenfield for about 3 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it's been a really good experience overall. When I first moved here from Minneapolis, I was surprised by outdoor recreation. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Lots of new development happening
- Good internet infrastructure
- The cultural scene scene is solid
The downsides:
- Traffic during rush hour is rough
- Limited entertainment options
Overall I'd rate it 8/10 for remote workers. Good luck with whatever you decide..

Used to live on the Eastside side, now on the Midtown side. Completely different vibe. it was the best decision I ever made.
