Anyone regret moving to Foley?

So, I grew up here but left for a while. Household incomes average around $58,092 in Foley. With a population of 2,685, Foley is a small town. The median home value here is around $192,600, which is actually reasonable. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The suburbs are where most families end up. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.

Property taxes are high but you get good services. The suburbs are where most families end up. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The city has invested a lot in new development. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 3 years ago from Charlotte and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in Downtown. It's hit or miss for what you get.

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

People: Generally decent. It took about 3 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: surprisingly good. Tons of options if you like Indian.

Happy to answer more specific questions..

I'm a lawyer and I've found I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. The community is pretty good and there's always something going on.
