Moving to Jemison for work -advice?

Been meaning to ask this. My family moved here when I was a kid. Rent is about $1,000/month for a decent place. Median household income is $54,468, which feels on the lower side for the area. Average temperature is around 63--F, so the weather is moderate. You can expect to pay around $1,000 for rent here. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Am I overthinking this? Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The food scene here is surprisingly good.

I've been living here for 11 years and I'd say I genuinely enjoy living here. The safety is excellent compared to other places I've lived. Overall Happy to answer more specific questions..

My experience has been mostly positive. I'm still on the fence after all this time. The only thing I'd watch out for is cultural scene. Other than that, It's not for everyone but it works for us..
