Our Take
Farmington offers affordable housing and decent family amenities, but the limited walkability, scarce public transit, and a somewhat uncertain crime record make it a mixed bag. It could work for a small family or someone looking for a low‑cost, outdoorsy lifestyle, but it's not ideal for those who need a robust job market or high‑speed internet.
