Hey, I'm single, late 30s, and Crime rate is something to consider -Wooster sits at 413.3 per 100K. It's a a smaller city city with about 27,012 people. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. What do you all think?

Bought a house here in 2023 and I'm still on the fence after all this time. Property values have gone down slightly since then.

My experience has been mostly positive. I genuinely enjoy living here. The only thing I'd watch out for is community vibe. Other than that, Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a sales manager who relocated here from Austin about 10 years ago. The main reasons were my partner's job and weather.
Pros I've experienced:
- Good healthcare facilities
- Good airport with direct flights
- Diverse dining options
Cons that are real:
- Winters are long and cold
- Road conditions need improvement
Financially, we've found it pretty good compared to where we came from. Older homes are where the value is. Groceries are pricey, gas is surprisingly good.
Socially, it's not perfect but it works for me. Happy to answer more specific questions..
