Best neighborhoods to rent in Garden City?

Hey folks, I've been here for 1 years and You can expect to pay around $991 for rent here. Poverty rate is 9.1%, which is pretty low. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. What neighborhoods would you suggest? Looking forward to hearing from you all.

OK I'm going to write a proper review because I've seen too many incomplete answers.

Background: I'm a accountant, 39, moved here 12 years ago from Houston. I've lived in Midtown and East, and traveled to most parts of the metro.

**What I love:**
1. Strong job market in several industries
2. Good internet infrastructure
3. Strong sense of community
4. The people are generally underrated - I found my community within the first year

**What I don't love:**
1. Summers can be brutally hot
2. Rising rent and home prices
3. The walkability situation is developing and doesn't seem to be improving

**Neighborhoods I'd recommend:**
- Midtown: Great for young professionals. underrated vibes, walkable.
- East: More affordable, family-friendly.

**Neighborhoods I'd avoid:**
- Without naming names, stay away from areas east of downtown until you know the city better.

**Cost comparison:**
Coming from Houston, everything felt improving. Rent is about /mo. Groceries are stable. Gas is competitive. You can live comfortably on $50K-$80K here.

**Final verdict:**
Hope this helps!. It's not perfect - nowhere is - but for the price point and quality of life, it's hard to beat. DM me if you have specific questions.

Public transit is hit or miss here. You'll probably need a car for most things. it's exactly what I was looking for.
