How much do you pay for rent in Carrboro?
OK so I'm a teacher here and It's a a small town city with about 21,170 people. The unemployment rate is 2.8%, which is pretty low. Household incomes average around $85,927 in Carrboro. Median household income is $85,927, which feels pretty solid for the area. Average temperature is around 60--F, so the weather is moderate. The city has invested a lot in new development. The suburbs are where most families end up. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.
Pros:
- Good job market
- Nice parks and trails
- Low crime in most areas
- Low taxes
- Walkable downtown
Cons:
- Rising rent prices
- Sprawl everywhere
- Limited dining options
- Limited cultural events
- Chain restaurants dominate
