Relocating to Alafaya, FL -pros and cons?

Not sure if this has been asked before, but I grew up here but left for a while. Homes are going for about $391,900 on average. Median household income is $98,289, which feels pretty solid for the area. Average temperature is around 73--F, so it's warm year-round. Crime rate is something to consider -Alafaya sits at 149.5 per 100K. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The suburbs are where most families end up. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Looking forward to hearing from you all. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The suburbs are where most families end up. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The weather takes some getting used to. The city has invested a lot in new development. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The weather takes some getting used to. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Happy to answer more specific questions..

I work in retail here and it was the best decision I ever made. The job market for my field is surprisingly good. It's not for everyone but it works for us..
