Is Rice still affordable?

Curious what people think. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The weather takes some getting used to.

I've lived in Fairview for about 1 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

I have mixed feelings honestly. When I first moved here from Denver, I was surprised by public transit. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Good schools in most areas
- Nice parks and green spaces
- The outdoor recreation scene is pretty good

The downsides:
- Rising rent and home prices
- Can feel isolated

Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for couples. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

I work in healthcare here and it exceeded my expectations. The job market for my field is decent. No regrets on my end..

Came here for school and stayed because I genuinely enjoy living here. The dating scene is honestly better than expected and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. it exceeded my expectations. Internet is underrated in most areas.
