How much do you pay for rent in Allen Park?

First post here. Military spouse here. Homes are going for about $174,500 on average. It's a a smaller city city with about 28,128 people. The city has invested a lot in new development. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Am I overthinking this? Thanks in advance! Public transit needs a lot of work honestly.

I've lived in Lakewood for about 13 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it's not perfect but it works for me. When I first moved here from Charlotte, I was surprised by cost of living. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- The weather scene is hit or miss

The downsides:
- Urban sprawl is real
- Not very walkable outside downtown

Overall I'd rate it 8/10 for retirees. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..
