I'm a college student here and Homes are going for about $68,500 on average. Household incomes average around $38,082 in Donna. The weather takes some getting used to. Would love some local perspective. Any help is appreciated.

I've lived in Westside for about 7 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. When I first moved here from Tampa, I was surprised by community vibe. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Lots of new development happening
- Four distinct seasons
- The job market scene is surprisingly good
The downsides:
- Traffic during rush hour is rough
- Can feel isolated
Overall I'd rate it 8/10 for remote workers. Feel free to reach out with questions..

I work in manufacturing here and it's improved dramatically in recent years. The job market for my field is tough. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

I've been living here for 13 years and I'd say there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. The outdoor recreation is excellent compared to other places I've lived. Overall Hope this helps!.
