Been living here since 2005. With a population of 86,234, Mission is a smaller city. Household incomes average around $60,813 in Mission. It's a a smaller city city with about 86,234 people. You can expect to pay around $931 for rent here. The weather takes some getting used to. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Thanks! Night life is decent if you know the right spots. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 6 years ago from Nashville and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: The market is competitive but not impossible. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Uptown. It's better than expected for what you get.
Jobs: The market is manageable right now, especially in government. If you're in construction you might struggle.
People: Generally solid. It took about 3 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: hit or miss. Tons of options if you like Korean.
No regrets on my end..

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem underrated.
I've been here 5 years and it's not perfect but it works for me. The thing nobody mentions is cultural scene. It's developing and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the community vibe is legit. And if you're into photography, this place is surprisingly good.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Meadowbrook side vs the Eastside side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
