Is Garden City still affordable?
Not sure if this has been asked before, but I relocated for work and The median home value here is around $411,400, which is pretty steep. Household incomes average around $66,859 in Garden City. With a population of 12,483, Garden City is a small town. The unemployment rate is 1.8%, which is pretty low. Homes are going for about $411,400 on average. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.
Pros:
- Affordable cost of living
- Low crime in most areas
- Diverse community
Cons:
- Limited public transit
- Far from major airports
- Chain restaurants dominate
