Biggest downsides of living in West Whittier-Los Nietos?

We're a young couple and It's a a smaller city city with about 25,459 people. Median household income is $101,138, which feels pretty solid for the area. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Should I be concerned?

From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are pretty good, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.

Bought a house here in 2023 and there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. Property values have gone about the same since then.

Weather-wise, the summers are hit or miss and winters are established. You get used to it after the first year.

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want cultural scene, then yeah this place is great. But if weather matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.

Public transit is improving here. You'll probably need a car for most things. I love the pace of life here.
