Rent vs buy in East Orange -what makes sense?
Hello, Poverty rate is 13.8%, which is around average. Median household income is $59,872, which feels about average for the area. Household incomes average around $59,872 in East Orange. Crime rate is something to consider -East Orange sits at 428.4 per 100K. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The city has invested a lot in new development. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.
Pros:
- Affordable cost of living
- Great weather
- Good job market
- Low taxes
- Easy commute
Cons:
- Traffic can be terrible
- High property taxes
- Poor road conditions
- Far from major airports
- Chain restaurants dominate
