How are the schools in Temple?
Homes are going for about $220,300 on average. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Any help is appreciated.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a accountant who relocated here from Boston about 9 years ago. The main reasons were school and cost of living.
Pros I've experienced:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Good schools in most areas
Cons that are real:
- Rising rent and home prices
- Can feel isolated
Financially, we've found it pretty good compared to where we came from. Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. Groceries are established, gas is improving.
Socially, it's not perfect but it works for me. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 4 years ago from Austin and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in Greenfield. It's tough for what you get.
Jobs: The market is established right now, especially in real estate. If you're in government you might struggle.
People: Generally pretty good. It took about 8 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: average. Tons of options if you like Vietnamese.
Hope this helps!.
