Our Take
Star, Star offers solid schools and a quiet, rural feel, but its walkability is practically zero and job opportunities are limited. The cost of buying a home is high relative to median income, and there’s little local entertainment or transit options. It might suit families or retirees who don’t need a daily commute, but most people would find it too isolated.
