Is Altus still affordable?

Curious what people think. I'm a nurse at the local hospital and Crime rate is something to consider -Altus sits at 226.2 per 100K. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Is this normal for Altus? Any help is appreciated. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.

I've lived in Meadowbrook for about 3 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

the quality of life is solid. When I first moved here from Nashville, I was surprised by dating scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Strong job market in several industries
- Good internet infrastructure
- The healthcare scene is average

The downsides:
- Not very walkable outside downtown
- Far from beaches/mountains

Overall I'd rate it 8/10 for retirees. Would recommend to anyone considering it..
