So, I'm a college student here and It's a a small town city with about 2,044 people. Rent is about $726/month for a decent place. Poverty rate is 8.5%, which is pretty low. The median home value here is around $125,200, which is actually reasonable. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The suburbs are where most families end up.
