Why I chose Robstown over bigger cities
Random thought, I'm a college student here and The median home value here is around $89,500, which is actually reasonable. Rent is about $920/month for a decent place. You can expect to pay around $920 for rent here. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly.
Pros:
- Good job market
- Close to nature
- Low taxes
- Strong sense of community
- Active local events
Cons:
- Cold winters
- Rising rent prices
- Limited nightlife
- Poor road conditions
- Chain restaurants dominate
Am I wrong here? The weather takes some getting used to. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.
