Moving from Nashville to Kingsport next month

First post here. I'm single, late 40s, and Average temperature is around 58--F, so the weather is moderate. The unemployment rate is 2.6%, which is pretty low. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The weather takes some getting used to. Am I overthinking this? Property taxes are high but you get good services. The suburbs are where most families end up.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 15 years ago from Phoenix and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: Lots of new construction which should help. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Greenfield. It's challenging for what you get.

Jobs: The market is manageable right now, especially in manufacturing. If you're in engineering you might struggle.

People: Generally excellent. It took about 18 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: underrated. Tons of options if you like Mediterranean.

It's not for everyone but it works for us..
