Most overrated things about West Park

Anyone else feel this way? Median household income is $58,825, which feels about average for the area. Rent is about $1,731/month for a decent place. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods.

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 4-bedroom. it's been a really good experience overall. Compared to Boston it's solid.

OK I'm going to write a proper review because I've seen too many incomplete answers.

Background: I'm a pharmacist, 44, moved here 3 years ago from Miami. I've lived in Pine Hills and Midtown, and traveled to most parts of the metro.

**What I love:**
1. Good schools in most areas
2. Lots of new development happening
3. Close to major attractions
4. The people are generally excellent - I found my community within the first year

**What I don't love:**
1. Traffic during rush hour is rough
2. Road conditions need improvement
3. The housing market situation is reasonable and doesn't seem to be improving

**Neighborhoods I'd recommend:**
- Pine Hills: Great for retirees. decent vibes, walkable.
- Midtown: More affordable, family-friendly.

**Neighborhoods I'd avoid:**
- Without naming names, stay away from areas east of downtown until you know the city better.

**Cost comparison:**
Coming from Miami, everything felt improving. Rent is about /mo. Groceries are pricey. Gas is developing. You can live comfortably on $50K-$90K here.

**Final verdict:**
Definitely worth checking out.. It's not perfect - nowhere is - but for the price point and quality of life, it's hard to beat. DM me if you have specific questions.
