Isla White best-worst

What surprised you most about Pulaski?

First post here. I'm originally from Portland and The median home value here is around $152,800, which is actually reasonable. Homes are going for about $152,800 on average. The unemployment rate is 2.4%, which is pretty low. Rent is about $775/month for a decent place. You can expect to pay around $775 for rent here. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The weather takes some getting used to.

Pros:
- Low crime in most areas
- Diverse community
- Low taxes

Cons:
- Hot summers
- Rising rent prices
- Not very walkable

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 2-bedroom. I'm still on the fence after all this time. Compared to Raleigh it's hit or miss.

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is walkability. I love the pace of life here. Worth doing your research before committing.
