Curious what people think. Military spouse here. The median home value here is around $266,500, which seems about average. With a population of 28,046, Crestview is a smaller city. Household incomes average around $69,279 in Crestview. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods.
Pros:

- Walkable downtown
- Good internet infrastructure
- Plenty of shopping options
Cons:
- Traffic can be terrible
- Hot summers
- Limited nightlife
- Far from major airports
- Not enough green space
