    "Nice clean safe neighborhood, no traffic jams. You can most things at local stores in town. Winter is cold and summer is nice. Biggest issue we've had was with getting contractors to do repair work on our house, many in that field are charlatans as well as overpriced. Be prepared to do things yourself. "

    "Oneonta sucks, if you want to move here... DON’T. There’s deer running wild at night. If you have small children, under 3, there are no dentist for them. No real career opportunities, just restaurants."
