Rent vs buy in Cross Plains -what makes sense?

Hey, Poverty rate is 0.6%, which is pretty low. Median household income is $72,734, which feels about average for the area. The median home value here is around $295,000, which seems about average. Rent is about $1,073/month for a decent place. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The weather takes some getting used to. Worth the trade-offs? TIA! Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly.

I'm a software engineer and I've found I have mixed feelings honestly. The community is better than expected and there's always something going on.
