Hey everyone, I grew up here but left for a while. Homes are going for about $520,200 on average. Household incomes average around $80,118 in White Oak. The unemployment rate is 6.2%, which is concerning. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The suburbs are where most families end up. Looking forward to hearing from you all. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 4-bedroom. it was the best decision I ever made. Compared to San Francisco it's average.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem hit or miss.
I've been here 5 years and I'm still on the fence after all this time. The thing nobody mentions is job market. It's reasonable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the outdoor recreation is legit. And if you're into fishing, this place is decent.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The North side vs the Pine Hills side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Happy to answer more specific questions..

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 2-bedroom. I love the pace of life here. Compared to San Diego it's surprisingly good.

As someone who grew up here, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. A lot has changed in the past few years though. cultural scene used to be much pricey but now it's tough.

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