First post here. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. What would you do? Property taxes are high but you get good services.

Public transit is average here. You'll probably need a car for most things. it's exactly what I was looking for.

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is food scene. I have mixed feelings honestly. Worth doing your research before committing.

Used to live on the Old Town side, now on the East side. Completely different vibe. I'm still on the fence after all this time.

I'm a project manager and I've found it's been a really good experience overall. The community is average and there's always something going on.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 4 years ago from Chicago and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Lots of new construction which should help. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in Old Town. It's pretty good for what you get.
Jobs: The market is growing right now, especially in retail. If you're in legal you might struggle.
People: Generally pretty good. It took about 18 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: excellent. Tons of options if you like Southern.
Would recommend to anyone considering it..

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 15 years ago from Denver and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Lots of new construction which should help. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in The Heights. It's excellent for what you get.
Jobs: The market is manageable right now, especially in legal. If you're in education you might struggle.
People: Generally improving. It took about 10 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: pretty good. Tons of options if you like Italian.
Feel free to reach out with questions..

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want traffic, then yeah this place is great. But if school system matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Internet is improving in most areas.

We moved here with our family and I'm still on the fence after all this time. Schools in Pine Hills area are hit or miss. Kids love it here.
