Cost of living reality check -Kernersville

Hey everyone, I'm single, late 30s, and It's a a smaller city city with about 27,439 people. The median home value here is around $264,000, which seems about average. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. What do you all think? Thanks in advance!

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a real estate agent who relocated here from Miami about 10 years ago. The main reasons were cost of living and weather.

Pros I've experienced:
- Nice parks and green spaces
- Lots of new development happening
- Active local events and festivals

Cons that are real:
- Urban sprawl is real
- Property taxes are high

Financially, we've found it challenging compared to where we came from. Older homes are where the value is. Groceries are competitive, gas is hit or miss.

Socially, it's exactly what I was looking for. Feel free to reach out with questions..
