Best neighborhoods in Texarkana
First post here. Poverty rate is 16.7%, which is higher than I expected. With a population of 29,343, Texarkana is a smaller city. Median household income is $47,930, which feels on the lower side for the area. You can expect to pay around $893 for rent here. Average temperature is around 64--F, so the weather is moderate. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The city has invested a lot in new development. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.
Pros:
- Great weather
- Growing food scene
- Close to nature
- Low taxes
- Active local events
Cons:
- Cold winters
- Rising rent prices
- Sprawl everywhere
- Far from major airports
- Homelessness issues downtown
