Planning a move to Webster -neighborhoods?

I'm a nurse at the local hospital and The unemployment rate is 6.1%, which is concerning. Rent is about $1,112/month for a decent place. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Anyone in a similar situation? Cheers. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The city has invested a lot in new development. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The food scene here is surprisingly good.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem decent.

I've been here 12 years and it exceeded my expectations. The thing nobody mentions is cost of living. It's stable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the safety is legit. And if you're into running, this place is pretty good.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Downtown side vs the North side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..
