Is Daphne still affordable?
Not sure if this has been asked before, but Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 3 years ago from Nashville and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in Highland. It's decent for what you get.
Jobs: The market is growing right now, especially in government. If you're in construction you might struggle.
People: Generally tough. It took about 3 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: better than expected. Tons of options if you like craft beer.
Hope this helps!.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem solid.
I've been here 9 years and I love the pace of life here. The thing nobody mentions is food scene. It's competitive and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the cost of living is legit. And if you're into kayaking, this place is excellent.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Riverside side vs the Highland side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Would recommend to anyone considering it..
