Things that make Black Mountain unique
I'm single, late 50s, and Homes are going for about $351,700 on average. Household incomes average around $70,041 in Black Mountain. The unemployment rate is 1.7%, which is pretty low. Crime rate is something to consider -Black Mountain sits at 97.7 per 100K. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus.
Pros:
- Affordable cost of living
- Friendly people
- Low crime in most areas
- Good schools
- Diverse community
Cons:
- Hot summers
- Few job opportunities in some fields
- Boring for young people
