Anyone else love living in Texarkana?
OK so I'm a college student here and Homes are going for about $162,700 on average. The median home value here is around $162,700, which is actually reasonable. Household incomes average around $47,930 in Texarkana. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The food scene here is surprisingly good. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level.
Pros:
- Affordable cost of living
- Diverse community
- Good healthcare facilities
- Walkable downtown
- Plenty of shopping options
Cons:
- High property taxes
- Boring for young people
- Limited cultural events
- Not enough green space
Should I be concerned? The food scene here is surprisingly good. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The weather takes some getting used to. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The weather takes some getting used to. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.
