Elizabethton housing prices -when will it stop?

Curious what people think. I've been here for 11 years and Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.

From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are excellent, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 1-bedroom. I love the pace of life here. Compared to Phoenix it's better than expected.

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 1-bedroom. I'm still on the fence after all this time. Compared to New York it's decent.

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is job market. it was the best decision I ever made. Worth doing your research before committing.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a writer who relocated here from New York about 9 years ago. The main reasons were retirement and work.

Pros I've experienced:
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- Good healthcare facilities
- Strong job market in several industries

Cons that are real:
- Property taxes are high
- Dating scene is rough

Financially, we've found it improving compared to where we came from. The market is competitive but not impossible. Groceries are manageable, gas is better than expected.

Socially, I have mixed feelings honestly. Happy to answer more specific questions..
