best-worst
Amherst is underrated, change my mind
Curious what people think. The median home value here is around $222,700, which is actually reasonable. The unemployment rate is 2.6%, which is pretty low. Poverty rate is 3.7%, which is pretty low. The suburbs are where most families end up. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.
Pros:
- Good healthcare facilities
- Walkable downtown
- Good internet infrastructure
Cons:
- Limited dining options
- Boring for young people
- Poor road conditions
