OK so I've been here for 20 years and Average temperature is around 66--F, so the weather is moderate. It's a a small town city with about 1,020 people. The suburbs are where most families end up. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Should I be concerned?

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 5 years ago from Minneapolis and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in Greenfield. It's decent for what you get.
Jobs: The market is affordable right now, especially in marketing. If you're in hospitality you might struggle.
People: Generally average. It took about 11 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: excellent. Tons of options if you like sushi.
No regrets on my end..

Housing: If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in The Heights. It's solid for what you get.
Jobs: The market is pricey right now, especially in retail. If you're in marketing you might struggle.
People: Generally pretty good. It took about 10 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: average. Tons of options if you like Mediterranean.

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

Weather-wise, the summers are surprisingly good and winters are reasonable. You get used to it after the first year.

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