Studio apartments in Odessa -options?
Anyone else feel this way? Homes are going for about $208,000 on average. It's a a mid-size city city with about 114K people. You can expect to pay around $1,322 for rent here. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The weather takes some getting used to. It's not perfect, but the community is solid.
Pros:
- Friendly people
- Nice parks and trails
- Growing food scene
- Diverse community
Cons:
- Rising rent prices
- Sprawl everywhere
- High property taxes
- Lack of diversity
- Few job opportunities in some fields

The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The food scene here is surprisingly good.
