The honest part
What to know first
- The 2025 town rate of $0.412864 sits above the no-new-revenue rate of $0.393354.
- The town has about 4,000 linear feet of SH 114 frontage, which limits commercial room.
Not its strength: vibrant, big-city energy, a real downtown, restaurants, shopping, luxury homes.
Not rated yet: walkable, transit options, nightlife, land and acreage, horses welcome, new construction. That means I haven't confirmed it either way, not that it isn't here.
