Rent is about $978/month for a decent place. With a population of 4,144, Benson is a small town. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much.
Pros:

- Friendly people
- Good schools
- Close to nature
- Diverse community
Cons:
- Traffic can be terrible
- Limited dining options
- High property taxes
- Boring for young people
