OK so Crime rate is something to consider -Reedley sits at 454.6 per 100K. The median home value here is around $311,700, which seems about average. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. What would you do? Appreciate any input. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 2-bedroom. I have mixed feelings honestly. Compared to Austin it's hit or miss.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem tough.
I've been here 13 years and it exceeded my expectations. The thing nobody mentions is pet-friendliness. It's wild and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the housing market is legit. And if you're into surfing, this place is challenging.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Eastside side vs the Downtown side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

Hot take but it exceeded my expectations. I know a lot of people disagree but after 5 years here, that's my honest assessment.

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, I genuinely enjoy living here. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

I'm a marketing manager and I've found it's been a really good experience overall. The community is tough and there's always something going on.

Bought a house here in 2020 and it was the best decision I ever made. Property values have gone up a bit since then.
