Top 5 things I love about Leesburg

Hi all, Poverty rate is 12.5%, which is around average. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Anyone in a similar situation? The weather takes some getting used to. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 9 years ago from Salt Lake City and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in Fairview. It's challenging for what you get.

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

People: Generally average. It took about 10 months to build a solid friend group.

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

Would recommend to anyone considering it..

Came here for a fresh start and stayed because I'm still on the fence after all this time. The housing market is honestly average and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 14 years ago from Seattle and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: The market is competitive but not impossible. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Old Town. It's average for what you get.

Jobs: The market is developing right now, especially in legal. If you're in government you might struggle.

People: Generally average. It took about 5 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: challenging. Tons of options if you like sushi.

Hope this helps!.
