First time home buyer in Lockhart

I work in energy and You can expect to pay around $1,560 for rent here. It's a a small town city with about 14,753 people. With a population of 14,753, Lockhart is a small town. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting.

Pros:
- Great weather
- Low crime in most areas
- Low taxes
- Lots of new development

Cons:
- Sprawl everywhere
- Few job opportunities in some fields
- Far from major airports
Is this normal for Lockhart? Property taxes are high but you get good services. The weather takes some getting used to. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Property taxes are high but you get good services.

As someone who grew up here, it's exactly what I was looking for. A lot has changed in the past few years though. walkability used to be much affordable but now it's solid.
