Been meaning to ask this. I'm a 45-year-old accountant and Homes are going for about $174,800 on average. You can expect to pay around $968 for rent here. Median household income is $57,789, which feels about average for the area. Household incomes average around $57,789 in Edinburg. Poverty rate is 22.4%, which is higher than I expected. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The city has invested a lot in new development.
Pros:
- Low crime in most areas
- Strong sense of community
- Good airport connections
Cons:
- Hot summers
- Homelessness issues downtown
- Not enough green space
