If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. I have mixed feelings honestly. Internet is average in most areas.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 1 years ago from Portland and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Older homes are where the value is. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Lakewood. It's challenging for what you get.
Jobs: The market is manageable right now, especially in legal. If you're in retail you might struggle.
People: Generally better than expected. It took about 10 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: better than expected. Tons of options if you like Southern.
Feel free to reach out with questions..
