Most overrated things about El Paso de Robles (Paso Robles)

So, I'm a remote worker and It's a a smaller city city with about 31,399 people. The median home value here is around $648,400, which is pretty steep. Crime rate is something to consider -El Paso de Robles (Paso Robles) sits at 246.0 per 100K. Homes are going for about $648,400 on average. Property taxes are high but you get good services. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable.

Pros:
- Low taxes
- Plenty of shopping options
- Good airport connections

Cons:
- Not very walkable
- Limited dining options
- Mosquitoes and humidity
Thoughts? The city has invested a lot in new development. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is cultural scene. I genuinely enjoy living here. Worth doing your research before committing.
