Worst things about living in Brownsville
Look, I love Brownsville, but let's be real about the downsides:
Some areas are rundown
Property taxes are high
Crime in certain neighborhoods is a real concern
Don't get me wrong, it's still a great place overall. But people should know what they're getting into.

The job market has been improving lately. Several tech companies moved in recently.

If you can afford it, Downtown is the best place to live. Period.

Downtown is overrated and overpriced. The suburbs offer way better value.

Public transit needs work but they're investing in it. Should improve in next few years.

Totally agree with this. I've been here 5 years and my experience is very similar.

For families, I'd recommend looking at Highland Park. Schools are rated well and it's quiet.

Can confirm the safety issue. But it really depends on the neighborhood. Oakwood and Downtown are perfectly safe.
