First time home buyer in Abilene
Hey everyone, I've been here for 13 years and Rent is about $1,106/month for a decent place. The median home value here is around $178,900, which is actually reasonable. Poverty rate is 10.2%, which is around average. Household incomes average around $62,720 in Abilene. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.
Pros:
- Good job market
- Growing food scene
- Lots of new development
- Strong sense of community
Cons:
- Traffic can be terrible
- Limited nightlife
- Sprawl everywhere
- Not very walkable
- Limited dining options
Has anyone dealt with this? People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The suburbs are where most families end up. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level.
