Most overrated things about Lakes West

First post here. I'm retired and The median home value here is around $693,200, which is pretty steep. Homes are going for about $693,200 on average. The food scene here is surprisingly good. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Is this normal for Lakes West? Any help is appreciated.

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

I'm a software engineer who relocated here from Dallas about 13 years ago. The main reasons were a job opportunity and a job opportunity.

Pros I've experienced:
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- Strong job market in several industries
- Close to major attractions

Cons that are real:
- Not very walkable outside downtown
- Property taxes are high

Financially, we've found it solid compared to where we came from. If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. Groceries are growing, gas is better than expected.

Socially, it's improved dramatically in recent years. Feel free to reach out with questions..
