Studio apartments in Alva -options?

Hey everyone, Military spouse here. Household incomes average around $41,728 in Alva. The median home value here is around $132,500, which is actually reasonable. It's a a small town city with about 5,009 people. Poverty rate is 10.6%, which is around average. The weather takes some getting used to. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The suburbs are where most families end up. The food scene here is surprisingly good. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much.

Pros:
- Diverse community
- Walkable downtown
- Good airport connections

Cons:
- Hot summers
- Rising rent prices
- High property taxes
- Poor road conditions
- Far from major airports
Has anyone dealt with this? The city has invested a lot in new development. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The suburbs are where most families end up. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. It's not perfect, but the community is solid.
