Why I chose Gatesville over bigger cities
The median home value here is around $162,000, which is actually reasonable. With a population of 16,058, Gatesville is a small town. The unemployment rate is 1.1%, which is pretty low. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.
Pros:
- Friendly people
- Good schools
- Lots of new development
- Walkable downtown
- Plenty of shopping options
Cons:
- Hot summers
- Limited dining options
- Mosquitoes and humidity
