Rent in Wake Forest getting crazy

Alright, The food scene here is surprisingly good. It's not perfect, but the community is solid.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a accountant who relocated here from Tampa about 2 years ago. The main reasons were a job opportunity and school.

Pros I've experienced:
- Good schools in most areas
- Good internet infrastructure
- Good airport with direct flights

Cons that are real:
- Limited public transit options
- Can feel isolated

Financially, we've found it excellent compared to where we came from. Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. Groceries are developing, gas is pretty good.

Socially, I have mixed feelings honestly. Definitely worth checking out..

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, I'm still on the fence after all this time. It's not for everyone but it works for us..

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want job market, then yeah this place is great. But if dating scene matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.
