First time home buyer in Great Bend

Longtime lurker here, Rent is about $744/month for a decent place. Poverty rate is 11.8%, which is around average. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Is this normal for Great Bend? It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The weather takes some getting used to. The city has invested a lot in new development. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The suburbs are where most families end up. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The suburbs are where most families end up. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The suburbs are where most families end up.

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, it was the best decision I ever made. Would recommend to anyone considering it..

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is safety. it exceeded my expectations. Worth doing your research before committing.
