Is Boone still affordable?
Not sure if this has been asked before, but I've been here for 18 years and Homes are going for about $156,400 on average. Median household income is $67,269, which feels about average for the area. It's a a small town city with about 12,445 people. Crime rate is something to consider -Boone sits at 289.2 per 100K. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Property taxes are high but you get good services.
Pros:
- Affordable cost of living
- Close to nature
- Easy commute
Cons:
- Cold winters
- High property taxes
- Few job opportunities in some fields
- Boring for young people
Is this normal for Boone? Appreciate any input. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The suburbs are where most families end up. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The suburbs are where most families end up. The suburbs are where most families end up. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.
