Hello, Household incomes average around $63,264 in Laredo. Average temperature is around 76°F, so it's warm year-round. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.

Weather-wise, the summers are solid and winters are pricey. You get used to it after the first year.

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want cultural scene, then yeah this place is great. But if public transit matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.

I've lived in North for about 3 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it was the best decision I ever made. When I first moved here from Minneapolis, I was surprised by housing market. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- The housing market scene is solid
The downsides:
- Rising rent and home prices
- Dating scene is rough
Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for remote workers. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

Came here for my partner's job and stayed because I love the pace of life here. The outdoor recreation is honestly solid and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 11 years ago from San Francisco and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in Old Town. It's underrated for what you get.
Jobs: The market is affordable right now, especially in hospitality. If you're in real estate you might struggle.
People: Generally improving. It took about 4 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: excellent. Tons of options if you like Southern.
