Quick question about Hope Mills

Hey, Military spouse here. Rent is about $1,097/month for a decent place. It's a a small town city with about 17,823 people. Homes are going for about $176,300 on average. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Should I be concerned? It's not perfect, but the community is solid. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The weather takes some getting used to. 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 13 years ago from Phoenix and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in Eastside. It's challenging for what you get.

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

People: Generally underrated. It took about 7 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: decent. Tons of options if you like Mediterranean.

Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

I've been living here for 8 years and I'd say I love the pace of life here. The school system is better than expected compared to other places I've lived. Overall Definitely worth checking out..
