Why I chose Centerville over bigger cities
Random thought, I'm single, late 30s, and Crime rate is something to consider -Centerville sits at 63.2 per 100K. You can expect to pay around $1,182 for rent here. Poverty rate is 8.3%, which is pretty low. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The weather takes some getting used to. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable.
Pros:
- Diverse community
- Good healthcare facilities
- Walkable downtown
Cons:
- Hot summers
- Rising rent prices
- Lack of diversity
It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Property taxes are high but you get good services. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. It's not perfect, but the community is solid.
