Rent vs buy in Wendell -what makes sense?
Been living here since 2023. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Does this match your experience?

I work in finance here and it's been a really good experience overall. The job market for my field is hit or miss. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 1 years ago from Portland and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in Lakewood. It's underrated for what you get.
Jobs: The market is growing right now, especially in government. If you're in healthcare you might struggle.
People: Generally improving. It took about 7 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: better than expected. Tons of options if you like Italian.
No regrets on my end..

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem tough.
I've been here 8 years and it's not perfect but it works for me. The thing nobody mentions is cultural scene. It's developing 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 excellent.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Springfield side vs the Cedar Grove side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Good luck with whatever you decide..
