While it has improved over the past decade or so, it still has a long way to go. There aren't many places for people to hang out unless you're a bar-type of person. Sure, there is a park and some comic shops that hold D&D events and such, but even the better food places are about 45 minutes away--and, even then, you only have a handful of places to choose from. We only recently got services like DoorDash because of the pandemic.
Also, unless you get a job on base, it is very difficult to find high-paying jobs, and the variation in career types here is just as sparce/limited.
It's not exactly the worst place to be in in recent years, but you can certainly tell by the alcohol, drug use, and promiscuity around here how bored much of the younger generations are. The older generations (not all) can be pretty confrontational, especially if you don’t exactly fit within their rules for what's acceptable, if you get what I mean.
Schools are about 2 yrs behind everywhere else.

Enterprise is definitely an expanding city, but is having a hard time keeping up with growth. For a city it's current size it hasn't been able to keep up with the demand for new public schools and retail outlets. Traffic can be a bust at times. Although it is much safer then Troy and Dothan it does have it's fair share of problems. The public schools are very overcrowded and are forced to haul older students into a kindergarten only school. Plenty of abandoned buildings everywhere and lack of entertainment options. Although the area is very peaceful and southern hospitality rests here. Very good city for veterans and retirees. The city typically hosts concerts and has a new movie theater + golf park. Enterprise has definitely come long ways, but is a very average small town. 1.5 hours to the beach and 30 minutes within a mall and bigger city.
Small town comprised of civilians, retired military, and active duty army. The city does not have many restaurant options, but the few here aren't terrible. Conservative Christian town that sometimes feels like it is stuck in the southern past.
