Housing market in Macon-Bibb County right now
Average temperature is around 66°F, so the weather is moderate. Has anyone dealt with this?

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem better than expected.
I've been here 6 years and I have mixed feelings honestly. The thing nobody mentions is safety. It's reasonable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the food scene is legit. And if you're into mountain biking, this place is excellent.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Meadowbrook side vs the Eastside side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Hope this helps!.

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, I have mixed feelings honestly. Happy to answer more specific questions..

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 6 years ago from Raleigh and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Lots of new construction which should help. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in Old Town. It's hit or miss for what you get.
Jobs: The market is affordable right now, especially in manufacturing. If you're in manufacturing you might struggle.
People: Generally underrated. It took about 9 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: challenging. Tons of options if you like Italian.
