Pros and cons of Rowlett after 7 years
I'm a teacher here and It's a a smaller city city with about 64,139 people. Rent is about $1,964/month for a decent place. Homes are going for about $342,400 on average. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The weather takes some getting used to.
Pros:
- Good job market
- Growing food scene
- Low taxes
- Lots of new development
- Good healthcare facilities
Cons:
- Hot summers
- Rising rent prices
- Limited nightlife
- Limited cultural events
- Not enough green space
