Is Elm Grove still affordable?
Anyone else feel this way? We're a young couple and Rent is about $1,788/month for a decent place. Median household income is $133,304, which feels pretty solid for the area. It's a a small town city with about 6,428 people. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The suburbs are where most families end up.
Pros:
- Close to nature
- Good internet infrastructure
- Active local events
Cons:
- Cold winters
- Sprawl everywhere
- Limited cultural events
- Chain restaurants dominate
- Not enough green space
