Anyone else noticing rent going up fast in Avondale? Over the last year, I feel like prices went up at least 10-15%. I'm paying $1731 for a 3BR which feels okay for the area.
Are there any neighborhoods that are still affordable? Thinking about moving to a cheaper area.

Check out the Downtown area. Way more affordable and still close to everything.

For families, I'd recommend looking at Lakewood. Schools are rated well and it's quiet.

Weather is the biggest factor for us. Love the warmth year round!

Traffic is the worst part honestly. But if you live near work it's fine.

I've lived in Cedar Hills for 4 years and it's a hidden gem honestly.

I'd add that healthcare options are better than most cities this size. Otherwise spot on!

Public transit needs work but they're investing in it. Should improve in next few years.

Coming from Philadelphia, the cost of living difference is noticeable. Groceries and gas are slightly more expensive but housing makes up for it.

I work in retail and finding a job wasn't hard. Took about 6 months.
