I've been here for 2 years and Rent is about $1,199/month for a decent place. It's a a mid-size city city with about 108K people. Crime rate is something to consider -Tyler sits at 375.3 per 100K. Poverty rate is 7.9%, which is pretty low. The suburbs are where most families end up. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable.
