Is Buccaneer Bay still affordable?

Not sure if this has been asked before, but I'm a college student here and Average temperature is around 51--F, so expect cold winters. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The weather takes some getting used to. The suburbs are where most families end up.

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. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want safety, then yeah this place is great. But if cultural scene matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 5 years ago from Phoenix and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: The market is competitive but not impossible. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in Old Town. It's decent for what you get.

Jobs: The market is pricey right now, especially in legal. If you're in legal you might struggle.

People: Generally excellent. It took about 18 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: underrated. Tons of options if you like Thai.

No regrets on my end..

Bought a house here in 2022 and the quality of life is solid. Property values have gone down slightly since then.
