Moving to Fish Hawk -what should I know?

Been meaning to ask this. Average temperature is around 73--F, so it's warm year-round. The suburbs are where most families end up. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Appreciate any input. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 3-bedroom. it's exactly what I was looking for. Compared to Pittsburgh it's decent.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.

If you value safety, you'll love it. The community vibe is genuinely excellent and I've found I have mixed feelings honestly. My neighborhood (Old Town) is manageable and I feel safe walking around at night.

But if you're coming from Raleigh, be prepared for the culture shock. nightlife is completely different here. And Not a lot of cultural diversity.

My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.
