Is it worth buying in Boothwyn?
So, I've been here for 3 years and Homes are going for about $252,700 on average. Crime rate is something to consider -Boothwyn sits at 1,001.7 per 100K. Poverty rate is 4.3%, which is pretty low. Average temperature is around 57--F, so the weather is moderate. It's a a small town city with about 5,129 people. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Property taxes are high but you get good services.
Pros:
- Good job market
- Diverse community
- Lots of new development
- Walkable downtown
- Good internet infrastructure
Cons:
- Hot summers
- Limited nightlife
- Few job opportunities in some fields
- Boring for young people
Should I be concerned? Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting.
