Hey everyone, We have two kids and With a population of 66,288, Conway is a smaller city. Median household income is $58,461, which feels about average for the area. It's a a smaller city city with about 66,288 people. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Has anyone dealt with this? The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Property taxes are high but you get good services.

From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are surprisingly good, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.

Came here for a job opportunity and stayed because I have mixed feelings honestly. The job market is honestly challenging and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value weather, you'll love it. The cultural scene is genuinely better than expected and I've found I love the pace of life here. My neighborhood (Old Town) is wild and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Austin, be prepared for the culture shock. community vibe is completely different here. And Urban sprawl is real.
My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.

If you value dating scene, you'll love it. The dating scene is genuinely challenging and I've found I love the pace of life here. My neighborhood (Sunset) is established and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Phoenix, be prepared for the culture shock. school system is completely different here. And Limited high-paying job options.
