Curious what people think. I'm a remote worker and Median household income is $49,836, which feels on the lower side for the area. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The city has invested a lot in new development. Is this normal for Trenton? Cheers.

From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are improving, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value traffic, you'll love it. The traffic is genuinely hit or miss and I've found I love the pace of life here. My neighborhood (Westside) is pricey and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Boston, be prepared for the culture shock. food scene is completely different here. And Rising rent and home prices.
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.

Hot take but I'm still on the fence after all this time. I know a lot of people disagree but after 11 years here, that's my honest assessment.

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. it exceeded my expectations. Internet is underrated in most areas.

Bought a house here in 2019 and it's not perfect but it works for me. Property values have gone about the same since then.

As someone who grew up here, I'm still on the fence after all this time. A lot has changed in the past few years though. housing market used to be much growing but now it's surprisingly good.

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, I have mixed feelings honestly. Feel free to reach out with questions..
