Worst things about Coram nobody talks about

I'm a nurse at the local hospital and Household incomes average around $107,159 in Coram. Rent is about $2,529/month for a decent place. The unemployment rate is 2.8%, which is pretty low. Crime rate is something to consider -Coram sits at 22.0 per 100K. With a population of 41,527, Coram is a smaller city. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The suburbs are where most families end up. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.

Pros:
- Good job market
- Nice parks and trails
- Good schools
- Walkable downtown

Cons:
- Limited public transit
- Sprawl everywhere
- Boring for young people
- Poor road conditions
- Not enough green space

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want housing market, then yeah this place is great. But if walkability matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, it's not perfect but it works for me. It's not for everyone but it works for us..
