Cheapest neighborhoods in Forest City?
Not sure if this has been asked before, but Crime rate is something to consider -Forest City sits at 364.1 per 100K. The median home value here is around $364,900, which seems about average. Household incomes average around $84,337 in Forest City. You can expect to pay around $1,706 for rent here. Poverty rate is 5.9%, which is pretty low. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable.
Pros:
- Lots of new development
- Good internet infrastructure
- Active local events
Cons:
- Cold winters
- Sprawl everywhere
- Boring for young people
- Poor road conditions
- Mosquitoes and humidity
Should I be concerned? TIA! I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The city has invested a lot in new development. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The suburbs are where most families end up. The food scene here is surprisingly good.
