Alright, Average temperature is around 53--F, so expect cold winters. Poverty rate is 3.0%, which is pretty low. The median home value here is around $471,300, which is pretty steep. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Does this match your experience? The food scene here is surprisingly good. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood.

I've lived in Pine Hills for about 2 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. When I first moved here from Austin, I was surprised by traffic. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Affordable housing options
- The public transit scene is surprisingly good
The downsides:
- Urban sprawl is real
- Homeless population growing downtown
Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for families. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

Bought a house here in 2018 and I have mixed feelings honestly. Property values have gone about the same since then.
