Housing in Hastings compared to Atlanta

OK so I'm a nurse at the local hospital and Poverty rate is 10.3%, which is around average. It's a a smaller city city with about 25,005 people. Average temperature is around 52--F, so expect cold winters. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The city has invested a lot in new development. The suburbs are where most families end up. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The weather takes some getting used to. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The weather takes some getting used to. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods.

I've lived in Springfield for about 4 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it was the best decision I ever made. When I first moved here from Portland, I was surprised by job market. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Strong job market in several industries
- Four distinct seasons
- The housing market scene is pretty good

The downsides:
- Urban sprawl is real
- Can feel isolated

Overall I'd rate it 8/10 for remote workers. Happy to answer more specific questions..
