Is Fort Smith getting better or worse?

Homes are going for about $168,100 on average. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Thanks in advance!

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. I genuinely enjoy living here. Internet is solid in most areas.

I've lived in Maple Ridge for about 5 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it's improved dramatically in recent years. When I first moved here from Denver, I was surprised by food scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Close to major attractions
- The safety scene is pretty good

The downsides:
- Not a lot of cultural diversity
- Limited entertainment options

Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for families. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

I've lived in Westside for about 7 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it's exactly what I was looking for. When I first moved here from Atlanta, I was surprised by weather. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Nice parks and green spaces
- Decent public transit for the size
- The community vibe scene is better than expected

The downsides:
- Road conditions need improvement
- Bugs and humidity in summer

Overall I'd rate it 8/10 for retirees. Definitely worth checking out..
