Housing in Gainesville compared to Austin

Longtime lurker here, We have two kids and Homes are going for about $162,900 on average. Median household income is $56,341, which feels about average for the area. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. What would you do?

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem decent.

I've been here 15 years and there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. The thing nobody mentions is pet-friendliness. It's growing and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the food scene is legit. And if you're into photography, this place is average.

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

Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
