Hi all, We have two kids and The median home value here is around $218,300, which is actually reasonable. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Would love some local perspective. Thanks in advance! The city has invested a lot in new development. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly.

My experience has been mostly positive. I genuinely enjoy living here. The only thing I'd watch out for is outdoor recreation. Other than that, It's not for everyone but it works for us..

I've lived in Old Town for about 13 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it's exactly what I was looking for. When I first moved here from Charlotte, I was surprised by traffic. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- Decent public transit for the size
- The outdoor recreation scene is better than expected
The downsides:
- Chain restaurants dominate
- Bugs and humidity in summer
Overall I'd rate it 8/10 for families. Feel free to reach out with questions..
