Dumfries is underrated, change my mind
Hey, I've been here for 4 years and The median home value here is around $303,700, which seems about average. Crime rate is something to consider -Dumfries sits at 133.0 per 100K. Rent is about $1,743/month for a decent place. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly.
Pros:
- Great weather
- Close to nature
- Strong sense of community
- Walkable downtown
- Good airport connections
Cons:
- High property taxes
- Poor road conditions
- Chain restaurants dominate
- Homelessness issues downtown
