Raising a family in Gary -thoughts?
Curious what people think. I'm single, late 30s, and The median home value here is around $85,300, which is actually reasonable. The unemployment rate is 6.6%, which is concerning. Median household income is $37,380, which feels on the lower side for the area. Average temperature is around 50--F, so expect cold winters. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The suburbs are where most families end up. The food scene here is surprisingly good.
Pros:
- Friendly people
- Easy commute
- Active local events
Cons:
- High property taxes
- Mosquitoes and humidity
- Homelessness issues downtown
- Not enough green space
