Honest thoughts on life in Plainview

Worth the trade-offs? Cheers. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.

Hot take but there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. I know a lot of people disagree but after 15 years here, that's my honest assessment.

I'm a pharmacist and I've found it exceeded my expectations. The community is solid and there's always something going on.

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

I'm a electrician who relocated here from Salt Lake City about 7 years ago. The main reasons were a job opportunity and school.

Pros I've experienced:
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- Lots of new development happening
- Close to major attractions

Cons that are real:
- Property taxes are high
- Bugs and humidity in summer

Financially, we've found it underrated compared to where we came from. Lots of new construction which should help. Groceries are developing, gas is surprisingly good.

Socially, I love the pace of life here. No regrets on my end..
