De Soto is underrated, change my mind

Household incomes average around $105,500 in De Soto. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Should I be concerned? Any help is appreciated. The city has invested a lot in new development.

I've lived in Highland for about 2 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it's been a really good experience overall. When I first moved here from Dallas, I was surprised by outdoor recreation. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Lots of new development happening
- The community vibe scene is tough

The downsides:
- Summers can be brutally hot
- Chain restaurants dominate

Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for remote workers. Hope this helps!.

Bought a house here in 2021 and I'm still on the fence after all this time. Property values have gone up a bit since then.
