What I wish I knew before living in Pace
So, Born and raised here. Rent is about $1,195/month for a decent place. The unemployment rate is 2.3%, which is pretty low. Poverty rate is 9.1%, which is pretty low. With a population of 25,630, Pace is a smaller city. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The suburbs are where most families end up. The food scene here is surprisingly good.
Pros:
- Friendly people
- Diverse community
- Lots of new development
- Good healthcare facilities
- Strong sense of community
Cons:
- Hot summers
- Few job opportunities in some fields
- Chain restaurants dominate
- Homelessness issues downtown
