Augusta-Richmond County is underrated, change my mind
Hey, Rent is about $1,087/month for a decent place. Crime rate is something to consider — Augusta-Richmond County sits at 141.8 per 100K. Median household income is $53,134, which feels on the lower side for the area. The unemployment rate is 4.5%, which is about average. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The food scene here is surprisingly good.
Pros:
- Great weather
- Good schools
- Good healthcare facilities
- Strong sense of community
Cons:
- Traffic can be terrible
- Limited public transit
- Limited nightlife
- Poor road conditions
- Chain restaurants dominate
