Everett Price housing Mar 15, 2025

Been meaning to ask this. With a population of 1,544, Freeport is a small town. The median home value here is around $344,100, which seems about average. Median household income is $48,352, which feels on the lower side for the area. Rent is about $1,426/month for a decent place. Average temperature is around 46--F, so expect cold winters. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus.

Pros:
- Great weather
- Friendly people
- Lots of new development
- Walkable downtown
- Active local events

Cons:
- Hot summers
- High property taxes
- Homelessness issues downtown
