Born and raised here. Crime rate is something to consider -Alton sits at 1,016.7 per 100K. The median home value here is around $99,500, which is actually reasonable. Poverty rate is 17.7%, which is higher than I expected. You can expect to pay around $948 for rent here. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The city has invested a lot in new development. The city has invested a lot in new development. The city has invested a lot in new development. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The city has invested a lot in new development.
