Relocating to Trenton, NJ -pros and cons?

So, I relocated for work and You can expect to pay around $1,224 for rent here. Am I overthinking this? Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.

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

If you value housing market, you'll love it. The public transit is genuinely pretty good and I've found it's exactly what I was looking for. My neighborhood (Oak Park) is developing and I feel safe walking around at night.

But if you're coming from Seattle, be prepared for the culture shock. public transit is completely different here. And Property taxes are high.

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.
