Lydia Adams housing

First time home buyer in Benton

Anyone else feel this way? Just moved here 6 months ago and Homes are going for about $85,100 on average. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Anyone in a similar situation? TIA! The suburbs are where most families end up. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much.

Bought a house here in 2020 and I'm still on the fence after all this time. Property values have gone up significantly since then.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem decent.

I've been here 2 years and it's been a really good experience overall. The thing nobody mentions is community vibe. It's stable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the nightlife is legit. And if you're into camping, this place is better than expected.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Meadowbrook side vs the Oak Park side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

Definitely worth checking out..
