Living in Edwardsville -the reality
Curious what people think. Homes are going for about $286,700 on average. The unemployment rate is 2.8%, which is pretty low. Poverty rate is 3.6%, which is pretty low. Household incomes average around $92,671 in Edwardsville. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.
Pros:
- Friendly people
- Active local events
- Good airport connections
Cons:
- Limited public transit
- Rising rent prices
- Boring for young people
- Mosquitoes and humidity
- Far from major airports
