Hi all, I'm a teacher here and The median home value here is around $192,000, which is actually reasonable. Crime rate is something to consider -Wilson sits at 445.9 per 100K. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The city has invested a lot in new development. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem tough.
I've been here 10 years and it's exactly what I was looking for. The thing nobody mentions is community vibe. It's wild and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the walkability is legit. And if you're into skiing, this place is underrated.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Sunset side vs the Greenfield side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Feel free to reach out with questions..

Bought a house here in 2019 and it's improved dramatically in recent years. Property values have gone down slightly since then.
