Considering Evans vs Raleigh -help me decide

Not sure if this has been asked before, but I've been here for 4 years and Median household income is $126,767, which feels pretty solid for the area. Average temperature is around 64--F, so the weather is moderate. The unemployment rate is 2.7%, which is pretty low. Rent is about $1,483/month for a decent place. Homes are going for about $345,800 on average. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The food scene here is surprisingly good. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The city has invested a lot in new development. Any advice would be great. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem pretty good.

I've been here 15 years and it's improved dramatically in recent years. The thing nobody mentions is safety. It's wild and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the public transit is legit. And if you're into biking, this place is pretty good.

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

Definitely worth checking out..
