Random thought, Military spouse here. You can expect to pay around $919 for rent here. Crime rate is something to consider -Rocky Mount sits at 787.7 per 100K. Homes are going for about $148,300 on average. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The food scene here is surprisingly good. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The weather takes some getting used to. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable.
