Should I move to Westfield or stay in Orlando?

Median household income is $82,847, which feels pretty solid for the area. Homes are going for about $295,500 on average. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The suburbs are where most families end up. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. What are your go-to spots? The weather takes some getting used to. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The weather takes some getting used to. The food scene here is surprisingly good. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting.

I've lived in Riverside for about 11 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

I have mixed feelings honestly. When I first moved here from Minneapolis, I was surprised by healthcare. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Good schools in most areas
- The traffic scene is challenging

The downsides:
- Property taxes are high
- Bugs and humidity in summer

Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for couples. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
