Why I chose Fayetteville over bigger cities
Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Worth the trade-offs?

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 2 years ago from San Diego and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Lakewood. It's decent for what you get.
Jobs: The market is growing right now, especially in hospitality. If you're in finance you might struggle.
People: Generally surprisingly good. It took about 18 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: underrated. Tons of options if you like Mediterranean.
Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

I've lived in Fairview for about 4 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
the quality of life is solid. When I first moved here from Raleigh, I was surprised by healthcare. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Nice parks and green spaces
- Close to major attractions
- The pet-friendliness scene is excellent
The downsides:
- Road conditions need improvement
- Limited shopping options
Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for retirees. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

I'm a lawyer and I've found there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. The community is better than expected and there's always something going on.
