What surprised you most about Seguin?

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a social worker who relocated here from Austin about 12 years ago. The main reasons were work and my partner's job.

Pros I've experienced:
- Nice parks and green spaces
- Strong job market in several industries
- Good airport with direct flights

Cons that are real:
- Limited high-paying job options
- Road conditions need improvement

Financially, we've found it solid compared to where we came from. Older homes are where the value is. Groceries are pricey, gas is excellent.

Socially, there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. Definitely worth checking out..

I've lived in Riverside for about 13 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

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

A few things worth knowing:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- The cultural scene scene is average

The downsides:
- Can feel isolated
- Limited shopping options

Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for remote workers. Hope this helps!.
