Moving from Orlando to Helotes next month

OK so My family moved here when I was a kid. Homes are going for about $382,400 on average. Crime rate is something to consider -Helotes sits at 20.2 per 100K. It's a a small town city with about 9,372 people. Average temperature is around 67--F, so the weather is moderate. You can expect to pay around $2,518 for rent here. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The weather takes some getting used to. The suburbs are where most families end up. What are your go-to spots? The weather takes some getting used to. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The city has invested a lot in new development. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem tough.

I've been here 9 years and I genuinely enjoy living here. The thing nobody mentions is walkability. It's established and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the weather is legit. And if you're into biking, this place is challenging.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The The Heights side vs the Maple Ridge side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

No regrets on my end..
