Housing in Valencia CDP (Valencia County) compared to Miami
Random thought, Poverty rate is 21.7%, which is higher than I expected. The unemployment rate is 5.2%, which is about average. The city has invested a lot in new development. Worth the trade-offs? The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The weather takes some getting used to.

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Internet is average in most areas.

I've lived in Old Town for about 8 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I genuinely enjoy living here. When I first moved here from Denver, I was surprised by cultural scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Good healthcare facilities
- Four distinct seasons
- The outdoor recreation scene is excellent
The downsides:
- Summers can be brutally hot
- Dating scene is rough
Overall I'd rate it 8/10 for families. Happy to answer more specific questions..
