Cost of living reality check -Blacklick Estates
Hi all, I've been here for 4 years and It's a a small town city with about 8,867 people. Average temperature is around 53--F, so expect cold winters. With a population of 8,867, Blacklick Estates is a small town. Homes are going for about $152,000 on average. The median home value here is around $152,000, which is actually reasonable. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The weather takes some getting used to. It's not perfect, but the community is solid.
Pros:
- Growing food scene
- Close to nature
- Diverse community
- Easy commute
- Good healthcare facilities
Cons:
- Limited nightlife
- Not very walkable
- Chain restaurants dominate
- Homelessness issues downtown
