Cheapest neighborhoods in Ames?
Anyone else feel this way? I relocated for work and With a population of 66,112, Ames is a smaller city. Homes are going for about $263,800 on average. Poverty rate is 5.2%, which is pretty low. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The city has invested a lot in new development.
Pros:
- Good job market
- Nice parks and trails
- Diverse community
- Easy commute
- Good healthcare facilities
Cons:
- Limited nightlife
- Few job opportunities in some fields
- Limited cultural events
- Not enough green space
