Life in Temple as a young professional

Not sure if this has been asked before, but I'm originally from Atlanta and Crime rate is something to consider -Temple sits at 279.8 per 100K. The weather takes some getting used to. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods.

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. Internet is underrated in most areas.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 9 years ago from Miami and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Cedar Grove. It's solid for what you get.

Jobs: The market is manageable right now, especially in hospitality. If you're in engineering you might struggle.

People: Generally tough. It took about 14 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: pretty good. Tons of options if you like Asian.

Would recommend to anyone considering it..
