Most overrated things about Waxahachie

Hi all, The median home value here is around $307,900, which seems about average. The unemployment rate is 1.8%, which is pretty low. Crime rate is something to consider -Waxahachie sits at 90.5 per 100K. Household incomes average around $82,449 in Waxahachie. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Property taxes are high but you get good services. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Has anyone dealt with this? Appreciate any input. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The city has invested a lot in new development. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting.

We moved here with our family and I love the pace of life here. Schools in Downtown area are solid. Kids love it here.

I've lived in Cedar Grove for about 12 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it was the best decision I ever made. When I first moved here from Miami, I was surprised by outdoor recreation. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Good schools in most areas
- Strong job market in several industries
- The nightlife scene is excellent

The downsides:
- Nightlife is limited
- Homeless population growing downtown

Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for young professionals. Good luck with whatever you decide..
