Pros and cons of Dodge City after 9 years
Been meaning to ask this. Median household income is $67,958, which feels about average for the area. Average temperature is around 55--F, so the weather is moderate. Rent is about $982/month for a decent place. The food scene here is surprisingly good. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly.
Pros:
- Great weather
- Good job market
- Good schools
- Easy commute
- Walkable downtown
Cons:
- Traffic can be terrible
- Sprawl everywhere
- Boring for young people
- Poor road conditions
Anyone in a similar situation? TIA! People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level.
