Is it worth buying in Cumings?
First post here. I grew up here but left for a while. The unemployment rate is 15.2%, which is concerning. With a population of 2,343, Cumings is a small town. Homes are going for about $301,300 on average. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The suburbs are where most families end up. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The weather takes some getting used to.
Pros:
- Affordable cost of living
- Close to nature
- Diverse community
- Low taxes
- Lots of new development
Cons:
- Hot summers
- Limited nightlife
- Far from major airports
- Homelessness issues downtown
What do you all think? Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The city has invested a lot in new development. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.
