Couple moving to Ennis from out of state

OK so I've been here for 9 years and Crime rate is something to consider -Ennis sits at 84.6 per 100K. Median household income is $72,772, which feels about average for the area. Homes are going for about $225,900 on average. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The city has invested a lot in new development. The weather takes some getting used to. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Should I be concerned? It's not perfect, but the community is solid. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The suburbs are where most families end up. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The city has invested a lot in new development. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods.

I'm a real estate agent and I've found it's not perfect but it works for me. The community is challenging and there's always something going on.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 15 years ago from Chicago and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in Oak Park. It's surprisingly good for what you get.

Jobs: The market is manageable right now, especially in healthcare. If you're in manufacturing you might struggle.

People: Generally solid. It took about 11 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: solid. Tons of options if you like Korean.

Good luck with whatever you decide..
