Been meaning to ask this. Been living here since 2014. With a population of 8,047, Union is a small town. Crime rate is something to consider -Union sits at 987.8 per 100K. The city has invested a lot in new development. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a marketing manager who relocated here from San Diego about 4 years ago. The main reasons were my partner's job and quality of life.
Pros I've experienced:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Affordable housing options
- Lots of family-friendly activities
Cons that are real:
- Not very walkable outside downtown
- Dating scene is rough
Financially, we've found it solid compared to where we came from. Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. Groceries are reasonable, gas is decent.
Socially, it's been a really good experience overall. Definitely worth checking out..
