Hello, I've been here for 13 years and It's a a smaller city city with about 34,741 people. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Property taxes are high but you get good services.

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

We moved here with our family and I have mixed feelings honestly. Schools in Cedar Grove area are underrated. Kids love it here.

I've lived in South for about 11 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
the quality of life is solid. When I first moved here from Dallas, I was surprised by weather. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Good internet infrastructure
- The healthcare scene is excellent
The downsides:
- Property taxes are high
- Can feel isolated
Overall I'd rate it 8/10 for remote workers. Happy to answer more specific questions..

Public transit is improving here. You'll probably need a car for most things. I'm still on the fence after all this time.

Hot take but it's exactly what I was looking for. I know a lot of people disagree but after 2 years here, that's my honest assessment.
