Curious what people think. I'm a teacher here and Household incomes average around $46,143 in Immokalee. Homes are going for about $197,000 on average. The median home value here is around $197,000, which is actually reasonable. Average temperature is around 75--F, so it's warm year-round. The city has invested a lot in new development. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Is this normal for Immokalee? People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much.

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Hope this helps!.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 2 years ago from Austin and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: The market is competitive but not impossible. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in Downtown. It's underrated for what you get.
Jobs: The market is growing right now, especially in consulting. If you're in education you might struggle.
People: Generally pretty good. It took about 7 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: decent. Tons of options if you like Korean.
Happy to answer more specific questions..

I work in tech here and I have mixed feelings honestly. The job market for my field is underrated. Would recommend to anyone considering it..
