Anyone else love living in Amelia?
Hi all, I'm a teacher here and Median household income is $69,864, which feels about average for the area. Crime rate is something to consider -Amelia sits at 40.7 per 100K. Average temperature is around 54--F, so expect cold winters. Homes are going for about $217,500 on average. Household incomes average around $69,864 in Amelia. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly.
Pros:
- Growing food scene
- Low crime in most areas
- Walkable downtown
- Plenty of shopping options
Cons:
- Lack of diversity
- Few job opportunities in some fields
- Poor road conditions
- Homelessness issues downtown
Is this normal for Amelia? There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The city has invested a lot in new development. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The weather takes some getting used to. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The food scene here is surprisingly good. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.
