Most overrated things about Calexico

My partner and I are Median household income is $50,021, which feels on the lower side for the area. Average temperature is around 74--F, so it's warm year-round. The median home value here is around $281,700, which seems about average. Crime rate is something to consider -Calexico sits at 233.1 per 100K. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Is this normal for Calexico? Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.

The food scene here is surprisingly good. Tons of great Mediterranean places. there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad.

Bought a house here in 2022 and I love the pace of life here. Property values have gone up significantly since then.
