Most overrated things about Carrollton

Hi all, My partner and I are The median home value here is around $353,600, which seems about average. Poverty rate is 5.3%, which is pretty low. It's a a mid-size city city with about 133K people. Average temperature is around 68°F, so the weather is moderate. Median household income is $99,115, which feels pretty solid for the area. The weather takes some getting used to. The suburbs are where most families end up. The city has invested a lot in new development.

Pros:
- Great weather
- Low crime in most areas
- Low taxes
- Lots of new development
- Active local events

Cons:
- Rising rent prices
- Limited dining options
- Boring for young people
The suburbs are where most families end up. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The suburbs are where most families end up. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus.

I've lived in Highland for about 10 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

I genuinely enjoy living here. When I first moved here from Denver, I was surprised by pet-friendliness. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Decent public transit for the size
- Good internet infrastructure
- The housing market scene is decent

The downsides:
- Chain restaurants dominate
- Far from beaches/mountains

Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for singles. No regrets on my end..
