We have two kids and Rent is about $2,006/month for a decent place. Average temperature is around 55--F, so the weather is moderate. Crime rate is something to consider -West Linn sits at 70.5 per 100K. Poverty rate is 3.2%, which is pretty low. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The suburbs are where most families end up. The food scene here is surprisingly good. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The city has invested a lot in new development. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.
