Life in Danville as a young professional
Not sure if this has been asked before, but We have two kids and The median home value here is around $76,800, which is actually reasonable. The unemployment rate is 4.6%, which is about average. With a population of 28,663, Danville is a smaller city. The weather takes some getting used to. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Property taxes are high but you get good services.
Pros:
- Affordable cost of living
- Good schools
- Close to nature
- Walkable downtown
Cons:
- Limited public transit
- Sprawl everywhere
- Mosquitoes and humidity
