Pros and cons of Battle Ground after 9 years
Curious what people think. My partner and I are Rent is about $1,469/month for a decent place. It's a a small town city with about 21,293 people. The median home value here is around $452,000, which is pretty steep. Crime rate is something to consider -Battle Ground sits at 79.5 per 100K. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The suburbs are where most families end up. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus.
Pros:
- Great weather
- Close to nature
- Strong sense of community
Cons:
- Traffic can be terrible
- Hot summers
- Sprawl everywhere
- Lack of diversity
- Poor road conditions
