The good and bad of living in Lamesa

Anyone else feel this way? I'm retired and It's a a small town city with about 8,527 people. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. What are your go-to spots? Thanks in advance! There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. It's not perfect, but the community is solid.

Used to live on the Eastside side, now on the Lakewood side. Completely different vibe. it's exactly what I was looking for.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.

If you value safety, you'll love it. The traffic is genuinely solid and I've found I'm still on the fence after all this time. My neighborhood (Pine Hills) is established and I feel safe walking around at night.

But if you're coming from Austin, be prepared for the culture shock. outdoor recreation is completely different here. And Winters are long and cold.

My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.
