Fair Oaks vs Pittsburgh -which is better?
Hi all, I've been here for 7 years and Average temperature is around 54--F, so expect cold winters. Household incomes average around $119,387 in Fair Oaks. The median home value here is around $580,500, which is pretty steep. You can expect to pay around $2,242 for rent here. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The food scene here is surprisingly good.
Pros:
- Lots of new development
- Strong sense of community
- Active local events
Cons:
- Sprawl everywhere
- Mosquitoes and humidity
- Far from major airports
