Moving from Houston to Durham next month

Just moved here 9 months ago and Household incomes average around $90,341 in Durham. The unemployment rate is 1.9%, which is pretty low. Rent is about $1,508/month for a decent place. It's a a small town city with about 1,909 people. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Anyone in a similar situation? Thanks for reading. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Property taxes are high but you get good services. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem decent.

I've been here 14 years and the quality of life is solid. The thing nobody mentions is school system. It's affordable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the traffic is legit. And if you're into camping, this place is tough.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Uptown side vs the Oak Park side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

No regrets on my end..
