So, You can expect to pay around $1,087 for rent here. With a population of 18,086, Brenham is a small town. The median home value here is around $223,200, which is actually reasonable. The weather takes some getting used to. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The suburbs are where most families end up. Anyone in a similar situation? TIA! The suburbs are where most families end up. The weather takes some getting used to.

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, I'm still on the fence after all this time. Feel free to reach out with questions..

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 1-bedroom. I love the pace of life here. Compared to Tampa it's improving.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 15 years ago from San Francisco and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Older homes are where the value is. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in Eastside. It's solid for what you get.
Jobs: The market is developing right now, especially in hospitality. If you're in education you might struggle.
People: Generally better than expected. It took about 18 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: solid. Tons of options if you like Mediterranean.
Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

Came here for work and stayed because I have mixed feelings honestly. The weather is honestly solid and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
