Housing in McKinney compared to Las Vegas

So, I'm originally from Baltimore and With a population of 202K, McKinney is a mid-size city. Homes are going for about $439,500 on average. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Am I wrong here? The city has invested a lot in new development. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting.

Hot take but I have mixed feelings honestly. I know a lot of people disagree but after 6 years here, that's my honest assessment.

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, it was the best decision I ever made. Would recommend to anyone considering it..

Hot take but the quality of life is solid. I know a lot of people disagree but after 14 years here, that's my honest assessment.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a data analyst who relocated here from Phoenix about 12 years ago. The main reasons were my partner's job and a job opportunity.

Pros I've experienced:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Growing food and restaurant scene

Cons that are real:
- Can feel isolated
- Homeless population growing downtown

Financially, we've found it excellent compared to where we came from. It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. Groceries are pricey, gas is decent.

Socially, I have mixed feelings honestly. It's not for everyone but it works for us..
