How much do you pay for rent in Casselberry?
So, I grew up here but left for a while. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Worth the trade-offs?

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 3 years ago from Dallas and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Lots of new construction which should help. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in Sunset. It's challenging for what you get.
Jobs: The market is reasonable right now, especially in real estate. If you're in finance you might struggle.
People: Generally improving. It took about 3 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: underrated. Tons of options if you like Southern.
Definitely worth checking out..

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a marketing manager who relocated here from Houston about 9 years ago. The main reasons were retirement and retirement.
Pros I've experienced:
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Strong job market in several industries
- Affordable housing options
Cons that are real:
- Nightlife is limited
- Can feel isolated
Financially, we've found it decent compared to where we came from. Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. Groceries are reasonable, gas is average.
Socially, there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. Would recommend to anyone considering it..

The food scene here is hit or miss. Tons of great Mediterranean places. I genuinely enjoy living here.

I've lived in Fairview for about 1 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it's improved dramatically in recent years. When I first moved here from Chicago, I was surprised by school system. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Decent public transit for the size
- Diverse dining options
- The traffic scene is decent
The downsides:
- Summers can be brutally hot
- Property taxes are high
Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for remote workers. Definitely worth checking out..
