Very expensive but very nice place to live and raise a family. The winters are fairly mild overall with little meaningful snow or ice each year maybe 2-5 days worth. Really it’s usually only January-early March where we get super cold days and any potential accumulation

I feel like “expensive” is relative, especially considering I’m currently paying Orange County CA prices 😥

Cheaper than that for sure.

I think so too, without sharing specifics!

I moved to Columbia from Pasadena, and for the most part its definitely cheaper here (though, as others have said that also often means lower salaries, but not sure of your circumstances). One thing I would note is that at I pay a good bit more in taxes here then I did in LA. I am losing an extra ~$100 a paycheck comparatively.

You also make an OC salary. It will probably be comparable to living in Howard County with your new wages.

Comparable meaning wages and cost of living?
