What surprised you most about Greeneville?

Longtime lurker here, My family moved here when I was a kid. The unemployment rate is 4.4%, which is about average. Household incomes average around $51,516 in Greeneville. Median household income is $51,516, which feels on the lower side for the area. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Has anyone dealt with this? It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The suburbs are where most families end up. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Property taxes are high but you get good services.

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, I love the pace of life here. No regrets on my end..

I've lived in Greenfield for about 10 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it's exactly what I was looking for. When I first moved here from Miami, I was surprised by housing market. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- The walkability scene is hit or miss

The downsides:
- Urban sprawl is real
- Road conditions need improvement

Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for singles. It's not for everyone but it works for us..
