MIGHT be moving to Oshkosh
DH has a potential job prospect. What can you tell me about the area? Do you like it, is there much to do, how is the housing market, etc.? TIA
Re: MIGHT be moving to Oshkosh
Where are you moving from? Dh and I went to school in Oshkosh, got married there and lived there for our first year of marriage. Personally, I did not care for the city itself. It's very blue collar and not kept up very well. There are a few nice areas: I enjoyed the UW campus, and Menomonee Park, The Paine Art Center, Fratello's. Having the outlet mall is nice.
There is new housing development West of 41, which would be a much better choice for housing vs. the east side (old, run down houses). Do you have to live in Oshkosh? There are other smaller communities that are nicer in my opinion that are nearby (Neenah, Menasha, etc.).
Oshkosh is a college town, but Appleton is a bigger city about 15-20 minutes away. My family lives in Appleton, and I really enjoy the city. I would recommend living in Appleton, then having your DH commute to Oshkosh.
My husband and I also went to school in Oshkosh and got married there. My brother also lives there. I agree that you need to watch where you live, but I think that's typical in most cities. Menominee park, the zoo, and the outlet mall are nice. The Appleton mall is also really nice. Appleton also has a bigger selection of restaurants and things to do, but even if you decide to live in Oshkosh, Appleton is a short drive. I currently live in the Madison area and I think housing prices in the Fox Cities are less expensive than here.
Really its not a bad town but I think places like Neenah, Menasha, and Appleton are more of people's style around here. Oshkosh is very working class and college town. I have family there that love it and I wouldn't be opposed to working or living there. Don't let anyone scare you off.
