We're a young couple and The unemployment rate is 4.9%, which is about average. Crime rate is something to consider -Watsonville sits at 604.5 per 100K. Average temperature is around 58--F, so the weather is moderate. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Let me know your thoughts. Cheers. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.
