Longtime lurker here, Been living here since 2007. Household incomes average around $132,778 in Lavon. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Am I wrong here? Any help is appreciated. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The city has invested a lot in new development. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a pharmacist who relocated here from Minneapolis about 11 years ago. The main reasons were family and work.
Pros I've experienced:
- Lots of new development happening
- Four distinct seasons
- Strong sense of community
Cons that are real:
- Homeless population growing downtown
- Far from beaches/mountains
Financially, we've found it challenging compared to where we came from. Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. Groceries are competitive, gas is improving.
Socially, it's not perfect but it works for me. Definitely worth checking out..

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a writer who relocated here from Houston about 8 years ago. The main reasons were quality of life and family.
Pros I've experienced:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Good healthcare facilities
- Close to major attractions
Cons that are real:
- Not a lot of cultural diversity
- Limited entertainment options
Financially, we've found it surprisingly good compared to where we came from. The market is competitive but not impossible. Groceries are affordable, gas is underrated.
Socially, I have mixed feelings honestly. No regrets on my end..
