Is Roy still affordable?

The median home value here is around $350,800, which seems about average. Poverty rate is 3.1%, which is pretty low. It's a a smaller city city with about 39,021 people. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Any advice would be great. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The food scene here is surprisingly good. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood.

I work in engineering here and there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. The job market for my field is surprisingly good. Feel free to reach out with questions..

I've lived in South for about 10 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

I love the pace of life here. When I first moved here from San Diego, I was surprised by nightlife. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- Good healthcare facilities
- The pet-friendliness scene is surprisingly good

The downsides:
- Not a lot of cultural diversity
- Far from beaches/mountains

Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for retirees. Definitely worth checking out..
