Rent vs buy in Gastonia -what makes sense?

My partner and I are You can expect to pay around $1,145 for rent here. The unemployment rate is 3.3%, which is pretty low. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Am I wrong here? Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.

As someone who grew up here, it's exactly what I was looking for. A lot has changed in the past few years though. walkability used to be much pricey but now it's improving.

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. I'm still on the fence after all this time. Internet is better than expected in most areas.

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want healthcare, then yeah this place is great. But if cost of living matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.
