Anyone else feel this way? I'm a nurse at the local hospital and The median home value here is around $223,000, which is actually reasonable. You can expect to pay around $1,178 for rent here. The unemployment rate is 5.3%, which is about average. With a population of 100K, Albany is a mid-size city. Rent is about $1,178/month for a decent place. The weather takes some getting used to. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus.
