Job hunting in Longview -tips?

So, We have two kids and Crime rate is something to consider -Longview sits at 263.8 per 100K. Median household income is $60,844, which feels about average for the area. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Thoughts?

Bought a house here in 2015 and I'm still on the fence after all this time. Property values have gone up a bit since then.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.

If you value safety, you'll love it. The community vibe is genuinely challenging and I've found the quality of life is solid. My neighborhood (Pine Hills) is affordable and I feel safe walking around at night.

But if you're coming from Baltimore, be prepared for the culture shock. safety is completely different here. And Rising rent and home prices.

My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.
