Worst things about Calumet nobody talks about
Hi all, I'm single, late 40s, and With a population of 1,013, Calumet is a small town. The median home value here is around $146,300, which is actually reasonable. Household incomes average around $78,059 in Calumet. You can expect to pay around $912 for rent here. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The weather takes some getting used to. The suburbs are where most families end up. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable.
Pros:
- Good job market
- Friendly people
- Close to nature
- Lots of new development
- Active local events
Cons:
- Limited public transit
- Sprawl everywhere
- Homelessness issues downtown
- Not enough green space
Should I be concerned? The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The weather takes some getting used to. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The weather takes some getting used to.
