Cost of living reality check -Tucker
With a population of 37,022, Tucker is a smaller city. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a chef who relocated here from Portland about 8 years ago. The main reasons were cost of living and weather.
Pros I've experienced:
- Good schools in most areas
- Strong job market in several industries
- Affordable housing options
Cons that are real:
- Rising rent and home prices
- Dating scene is rough
Financially, we've found it better than expected compared to where we came from. Lots of new construction which should help. Groceries are pricey, gas is pretty good.
Socially, it was the best decision I ever made. It's not for everyone but it works for us..

I'm a pharmacist and I've found it's improved dramatically in recent years. The community is challenging and there's always something going on.
