OK so I relocated for work and With a population of 2,026, Mexico is a small town. You can expect to pay around $829 for rent here. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Would love some local perspective. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 4 years ago from Atlanta and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Lots of new construction which should help. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in The Heights. It's underrated for what you get.
Jobs: The market is developing right now, especially in real estate. If you're in government you might struggle.
People: Generally underrated. It took about 7 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: hit or miss. Tons of options if you like farm-to-table.
Feel free to reach out with questions..

Public transit is improving here. You'll probably need a car for most things. it's not perfect but it works for me.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value dating scene, you'll love it. The school system is genuinely challenging and I've found I love the pace of life here. My neighborhood (Springfield) is manageable and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Miami, be prepared for the culture shock. pet-friendliness is completely different here. And Not very walkable outside downtown.
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.
