First post here. We're a young couple and Rent is about $2,389/month for a decent place. It's a a small town city with about 19,768 people. Average temperature is around 59--F, so the weather is moderate. With a population of 19,768, Albany is a small town. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Anyone in a similar situation? It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. It's not perfect, but the community is solid.
