Studio apartments in Abilene — options?
Not sure if this has been asked before, but I'm a nurse at the local hospital and Poverty rate is 10.2%, which is around average. Median household income is $62,720, which feels about average for the area. You can expect to pay around $1,106 for rent here. Rent is about $1,106/month for a decent place. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.
Pros:
- Good job market
- Low taxes
- Good healthcare facilities
- Walkable downtown
Cons:
- Few job opportunities in some fields
- Boring for young people
- Poor road conditions
- Far from major airports
- Homelessness issues downtown

The suburbs are where most families end up. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The weather takes some getting used to.
