Riley Mitchell best-worst Jul 6, 2025

Random thought, Born and raised here. Crime rate is something to consider -Auburn sits at 128.1 per 100K. You can expect to pay around $867 for rent here. Average temperature is around 47--F, so expect cold winters. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The weather takes some getting used to. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.
