Biggest downsides of living in Bryant?

Curious what people think. I'm a 32-year-old firefighter and Crime rate is something to consider -Bryant sits at 150.8 per 100K. The median home value here is around $223,400, which is actually reasonable. Median household income is $83,219, which feels pretty solid for the area. It's a a small town city with about 21,125 people. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.

Pros:
- Low crime in most areas
- Lots of new development
- Good internet infrastructure

Cons:
- Not very walkable
- Few job opportunities in some fields
- Poor road conditions
- Chain restaurants dominate

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is school system. I'm still on the fence after all this time. Worth doing your research before committing.

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want outdoor recreation, then yeah this place is great. But if school system matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.
