Is it worth buying in Kernersville?

Hey, Been living here since 2010. With a population of 27,439, Kernersville is a smaller city. Household incomes average around $69,923 in Kernersville. Crime rate is something to consider -Kernersville sits at 260.2 per 100K. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The food scene here is surprisingly good. What do you all think? Appreciate any input. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The city has invested a lot in new development. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The city has invested a lot in new development. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level.

I've lived in Eastside for about 8 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it exceeded my expectations. When I first moved here from San Francisco, I was surprised by outdoor recreation. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:

- Friendly community, easy to meet people

- Growing food and restaurant scene

- The dating scene scene is pretty good

The downsides:

- Summers can be brutally hot

- Chain restaurants dominate

Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for remote workers. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
