Hello, Poverty rate is 3.7%, which is pretty low. Crime rate is something to consider -Trumbull Center sits at 905.1 per 100K. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Let me know your thoughts. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 2 years ago from Minneapolis and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Lakewood. It's surprisingly good for what you get.
Jobs: The market is reasonable right now, especially in legal. If you're in legal you might struggle.
People: Generally hit or miss. It took about 14 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: decent. Tons of options if you like Italian.
Definitely worth checking out..

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value traffic, you'll love it. The housing market is genuinely decent and I've found the quality of life is solid. My neighborhood (Midtown) is manageable and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Austin, be prepared for the culture shock. nightlife is completely different here. And Can feel isolated.
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're remote, this place is great for cost of living. I genuinely enjoy living here. Internet is improving in most areas.

Bought a house here in 2016 and I genuinely enjoy living here. Property values have gone down slightly since then.

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is cost of living. it's not perfect but it works for me. Worth doing your research before committing.
