Working remotely from Whittier

Not sure if this has been asked before, but I'm retired and Median household income is $92,374, which feels pretty solid for the area. With a population of 85,925, Whittier is a smaller city. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Am I wrong here?

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a real estate agent who relocated here from Nashville about 13 years ago. The main reasons were cost of living and a job opportunity.

Pros I've experienced:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Good internet infrastructure
- Four distinct seasons

Cons that are real:
- Summers can be brutally hot
- Bugs and humidity in summer

Financially, we've found it surprisingly good compared to where we came from. Older homes are where the value is. Groceries are growing, gas is decent.

Socially, it's been a really good experience overall. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

Weather-wise, the summers are challenging and winters are affordable. You get used to it after the first year.
