How much do you pay for rent in Hickory?

Curious what people think. I'm originally from Albuquerque and It's a a smaller city city with about 43,747 people. Average temperature is around 59--F, so the weather is moderate. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Am I overthinking this? Night life is decent if you know the right spots. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 8 years ago from Miami and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in Oak Park. It's average for what you get.

Jobs: The market is competitive right now, especially in tech. If you're in finance you might struggle.

People: Generally hit or miss. It took about 16 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: excellent. Tons of options if you like Mexican.

Feel free to reach out with questions..

We moved here with our family and the quality of life is solid. Schools in Westside area are challenging. Kids love it here.
