Housing in Lexington compared to Atlanta

I'm retired and Rent is about $921/month for a decent place. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. What neighborhoods would you suggest? TIA! It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Property taxes are high but you get good services. 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 4 years ago from Denver and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: Older homes are where the value is. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in Greenfield. It's hit or miss for what you get.

Jobs: The market is wild right now, especially in marketing. If you're in marketing you might struggle.

People: Generally pretty good. It took about 17 months to build a solid friend group.

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

Feel free to reach out with questions..
