Been meaning to ask this. Born and raised here. With a population of 2,057, West Tawakoni is a small town. Median household income is $55,938, which feels about average for the area. Homes are going for about $64,800 on average. The median home value here is around $64,800, which is actually reasonable. It's a a small town city with about 2,057 people. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.

Pros:
- Great weather
- Good schools
- Plenty of shopping options

Cons:
- Limited nightlife
- High property taxes
- Lack of diversity
- Far from major airports
Am I wrong here? The weather takes some getting used to. The city has invested a lot in new development. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The suburbs are where most families end up. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The weather takes some getting used to. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood.
