White Plains job market vs Dallas
Been meaning to ask this. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.

I've lived in Old Town for about 6 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. When I first moved here from Portland, I was surprised by weather. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Strong job market in several industries
- Lots of new development happening
- The community vibe scene is hit or miss
The downsides:
- Not a lot of cultural diversity
- Limited entertainment options
Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for couples. Feel free to reach out with questions..

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 3 years ago from Chicago and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in West. It's hit or miss for what you get.
Jobs: The market is established right now, especially in engineering. If you're in finance you might struggle.
People: Generally underrated. It took about 10 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: underrated. Tons of options if you like Mediterranean.
Happy to answer more specific questions..
