Is Forest Grove getting better or worse?
Hi all, My partner and I are Poverty rate is 8.7%, which is pretty low. Household incomes average around $81,998 in Forest Grove. With a population of 26,406, Forest Grove is a smaller city. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. 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.
Pros:
- Great weather
- Friendly people
- Lots of new development
- Good healthcare facilities
- Good airport connections
Cons:
- Limited public transit
- Hot summers
- Limited nightlife
- Mosquitoes and humidity
- Chain restaurants dominate
