Job hunting in Evans -tips?

Hey folks, I'm a remote worker and Poverty rate is 9.1%, which is pretty low. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Should I be concerned? TIA! The food scene here is surprisingly good.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem hit or miss.

I've been here 9 years and I have mixed feelings honestly. The thing nobody mentions is housing market. It's wild and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

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

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

Definitely worth checking out..

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 11 years ago from Miami and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: Older homes are where the value is. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in Greenfield. It's better than expected for what you get.

Jobs: The market is established right now, especially in legal. If you're in tech you might struggle.

People: Generally underrated. It took about 4 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: excellent. Tons of options if you like Thai.

No regrets on my end..

Hot take but I'm still on the fence after all this time. I know a lot of people disagree but after 11 years here, that's my honest assessment.

Hot take but there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. I know a lot of people disagree but after 4 years here, that's my honest assessment.
