Hey everyone, We have two kids and The median home value here is around $337,100, which seems about average. Poverty rate is 1.3%, which is pretty low. Household incomes average around $110,103 in Greenville. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Am I wrong here? Property taxes are high but you get good services. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 6 years ago from Nashville and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Older homes are where the value is. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in Meadowbrook. It's solid for what you get.
Jobs: The market is established right now, especially in retail. If you're in construction you might struggle.
People: Generally underrated. It took about 7 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: better than expected. Tons of options if you like Italian.
Feel free to reach out with questions..

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is public transit. I have mixed feelings honestly. Worth doing your research before committing.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem solid.
I've been here 4 years and it was the best decision I ever made. The thing nobody mentions is community vibe. It's competitive and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the weather is legit. And if you're into kayaking, this place is tough.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Springfield side vs the Highland side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
