Raising a family in Glen Cove -thoughts?
So, I'm a nurse at the local hospital and The unemployment rate is 2.7%, which is pretty low. Poverty rate is 9.9%, which is pretty low. The median home value here is around $654,500, which is pretty steep. Household incomes average around $91,355 in Glen Cove. Crime rate is something to consider -Glen Cove sits at 18.4 per 100K. The suburbs are where most families end up. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Property taxes are high but you get good services.
Pros:
- Good job market
- Good schools
- Lots of new development
Cons:
- Traffic can be terrible
- Boring for young people
- Mosquitoes and humidity
- Limited cultural events
