Is it worth buying in Waterville?
Anyone else feel this way? It's a a small town city with about 5,997 people. Does this match your experience?

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 10 years ago from Miami and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: The market is competitive but not impossible. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Eastside. It's challenging for what you get.
Jobs: The market is growing right now, especially in marketing. If you're in education you might struggle.
People: Generally hit or miss. It took about 9 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: surprisingly good. Tons of options if you like BBQ.
Would recommend to anyone considering it..

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 4 years ago from Charlotte and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Lots of new construction which should help. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in Downtown. It's improving for what you get.
Jobs: The market is developing right now, especially in education. If you're in tech you might struggle.
People: Generally decent. It took about 12 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: tough. Tons of options if you like Thai.
It's not for everyone but it works for us..

I've been living here for 14 years and I'd say it's exactly what I was looking for. The school system is excellent compared to other places I've lived. Overall Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 13 years ago from Boston and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in Springfield. It's decent for what you get.
Jobs: The market is affordable right now, especially in retail. If you're in legal you might struggle.
People: Generally excellent. It took about 8 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: hit or miss. Tons of options if you like Asian.
Hope this helps!.
