What I wish I knew before living in Craigsville
Been meaning to ask this. The median home value here is around $95,300, which is actually reasonable. You can expect to pay around $607 for rent here. Median household income is $28,718, which feels on the lower side for the area. Crime rate is something to consider -Craigsville sits at 453.0 per 100K. The suburbs are where most families end up. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The weather takes some getting used to.
Pros:
- Nice parks and trails
- Diverse community
- Low taxes
- Good internet infrastructure
- Active local events
Cons:
- Traffic can be terrible
- Limited public transit
- Sprawl everywhere
- Far from major airports
- Chain restaurants dominate
Should I be concerned? Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting.
