Adeline Allen housing Mar 4, 2026

My family moved here when I was a kid. The unemployment rate is 5.5%, which is about average. Homes are going for about $299,700 on average. Rent is about $1,118/month for a decent place. It's a a small town city with about 14,751 people. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The suburbs are where most families end up.

Pros:
- Great weather
- Strong sense of community
- Plenty of shopping options

Cons:
- Hot summers
- Sprawl everywhere
- Limited dining options
- Boring for young people
- Homelessness issues downtown
