There are not many vacant buildings lurking around, but the cost of living in the house is doable. The only slight issue is someone taking loudly near the window if residing on the first floor.

There aren't many jobs outlooks but only a few. As far as top employers I am unsure. However, most people spend their times in a majority of bars and restaurants.
