Best neighborhoods to rent in Cornelius?

The median home value here is around $512,400, which is pretty steep. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Any help is appreciated. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level.

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

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a contractor who relocated here from Salt Lake City about 12 years ago. The main reasons were quality of life and weather.

Pros I've experienced:
- Good internet infrastructure
- Close to major attractions
- Strong sense of community

Cons that are real:
- Limited public transit options
- Summers can be brutally hot

Financially, we've found it average compared to where we came from. If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. Groceries are wild, gas is hit or miss.

Socially, there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. Would recommend to anyone considering it..
