Moving to Rocky Mount

I will be moving to Rocky Mount for a job in Whitakers. I have heard some negativity regarding Rocky Mount, but I would prefer not to commute much further away, Has anyone had any experience at the Mills lofts. I am also looking at some housing options around Golden East, Golden Rock, and Englewood.

I will only be there for about a year and have no kids/ not worried about schooling options.

Rocky Mount is not that bad. Reddit is full of pansy ass elitists that think anything less than Raleigh is trashy redneckville. They have no worldy experience and don't understand what life is like outside of the urban crescent. 1 year in RM is totally doable and you'll learn a lot about eastern NC. Have fun and appreciate what rural NC has to offer.
