Austin E. housing Jan 13, 2026

Hey, Just moved here 13 months ago and The median home value here is around $108,100, which is actually reasonable. Rent is about $679/month for a decent place. With a population of 2,545, Cave City is a small town. Property taxes are high but you get good services. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Should I be concerned? The weather takes some getting used to. The suburbs are where most families end up. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Property taxes are high but you get good services. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Property taxes are high but you get good services. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods.
