Planning a move to Brownsville — neighborhoods?

I'm a nurse at the local hospital and You can expect to pay around $906 for rent here. It's a a mid-size city city with about 188K people. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Would love some local perspective. Thanks!

I've lived in Fairview for about 4 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it's not perfect but it works for me. When I first moved here from Houston, I was surprised by community vibe. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Good internet infrastructure
- The community vibe scene is excellent

The downsides:
- Urban sprawl is real
- Bugs and humidity in summer

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