Could be good to raise kids but nothing more. Move when they become teens!There really isn't much to do outdoors or in;or in you're own neighborhoods. People prove to be stand-offish, and anti-social in many ways. Crime is alot higher than reported. When I moved here 8 years ago, on the news all I then heard of was the murders and drug busts!We like to point fingers mostly towards others if we can but mostly here its the locals.Lot's of chemical dumps took place here, fracking,poor care of housing in most places dressed to look good. Lot's of mold in many places and areas due to lot's of flooding. I went through 2 floods since living here in a 2 year span. Transportation is terrible! From mass to cabs. The attitudes of most of the locals is really unfriendly and bad. People of color will not find it easy to live here. You will need a car because transportation doesn't make you feel you're patronage counts. Now that IBM has left many years ago, the county caters to College students who generate the revenue and the working class is disregarded.If your a non-smoker, this town is strictly about smoking. Housing can be affordable. I overrall don't recommend here. One can do alot better than here.
