Raising a family in Easton -thoughts?

Not sure if this has been asked before, but You can expect to pay around $1,177 for rent here. It's a a small town city with about 17,202 people. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Should I be concerned? Cheers.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a contractor who relocated here from San Diego about 9 years ago. The main reasons were school and a fresh start.

Pros I've experienced:
- Lots of new development happening
- Four distinct seasons
- Diverse dining options

Cons that are real:
- Rising rent and home prices
- Not very walkable outside downtown

Financially, we've found it excellent compared to where we came from. Older homes are where the value is. Groceries are stable, gas is improving.

Socially, it was the best decision I ever made. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

Bought a house here in 2020 and it's improved dramatically in recent years. Property values have gone down slightly since then.
