Pros and cons of Indian River Estates after 4 years

Hi all, I grew up here but left for a while. Poverty rate is 14.8%, which is around average. Crime rate is something to consider -Indian River Estates sits at 1,061.2 per 100K. Rent is about $2,177/month for a decent place. Average temperature is around 75--F, so it's warm year-round. It's a a small town city with about 7,331 people. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The weather takes some getting used to. The suburbs are where most families end up.

Pros:
- Low crime in most areas
- Diverse community
- Easy commute

Cons:
- Hot summers
- Mosquitoes and humidity
- Homelessness issues downtown
