Hello, My partner and I are The unemployment rate is 2.2%, which is pretty low. Homes are going for about $347,900 on average. Crime rate is something to consider -Valley Falls sits at 687.3 per 100K. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The city has invested a lot in new development. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Is this normal for Valley Falls? The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The suburbs are where most families end up. The suburbs are where most families end up. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.

Hot take but it's exactly what I was looking for. I know a lot of people disagree but after 12 years here, that's my honest assessment.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 6 years ago from Phoenix and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in North. It's better than expected for what you get.
Jobs: The market is manageable right now, especially in retail. If you're in real estate you might struggle.
People: Generally tough. It took about 12 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: surprisingly good. Tons of options if you like Korean.
Happy to answer more specific questions..

Bought a house here in 2020 and there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. Property values have gone about the same since then.
