I relocated for work and Household incomes average around $80,380 in Waterford. The weather takes some getting used to. The city has invested a lot in new development.

I've lived in Cedar Grove for about 11 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I have mixed feelings honestly. When I first moved here from Baltimore, I was surprised by public transit. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- The walkability scene is average
The downsides:
- Not very walkable outside downtown
- Property taxes are high
Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for couples. No regrets on my end..

Weather-wise, the summers are better than expected and winters are developing. You get used to it after the first year.

From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are hit or miss, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.

Public transit is hit or miss here. You'll probably need a car for most things. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 3 years ago from New York and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Older homes are where the value is. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Pine Hills. It's average for what you get.
Jobs: The market is stable right now, especially in finance. If you're in consulting you might struggle.
People: Generally underrated. It took about 5 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: underrated. Tons of options if you like Mediterranean.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 13 years ago from Nashville and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in Sunset. It's average for what you get.
Jobs: The market is stable right now, especially in legal. If you're in consulting you might struggle.
People: Generally improving. It took about 6 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: challenging. Tons of options if you like Southern.
It's not for everyone but it works for us..

Bought a house here in 2021 and I genuinely enjoy living here. Property values have gone down slightly since then.
