Alright, Military spouse here. Median household income is $34,659, which feels on the lower side for the area. It's a a small town city with about 13,983 people. Household incomes average around $34,659 in Greenwood. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Thoughts? The city has invested a lot in new development. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Property taxes are high but you get good services. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a marketing manager who relocated here from Austin about 1 years ago. The main reasons were a job opportunity and my partner's job.
Pros I've experienced:
- Good schools in most areas
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- Good airport with direct flights
Cons that are real:
- Summers can be brutally hot
- Dating scene is rough
Financially, we've found it better than expected compared to where we came from. The market is competitive but not impossible. Groceries are stable, gas is hit or miss.
Socially, I have mixed feelings honestly. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

I've been living here for 10 years and I'd say it's improved dramatically in recent years. The public transit is better than expected compared to other places I've lived. Overall No regrets on my end..

I've lived in Westside for about 7 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 food scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Good healthcare facilities
- The cost of living scene is underrated
The downsides:
- Urban sprawl is real
- Not a lot of cultural diversity
Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for families. It's not for everyone but it works for us..
