Gresham is underrated, change my mind
OK so I'm a college student here and Crime rate is something to consider -Gresham sits at 442.7 per 100K. With a population of 113K, Gresham is a mid-size city. Rent is about $1,508/month for a decent place. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The suburbs are where most families end up. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.
Pros:
- Affordable cost of living
- Nice parks and trails
- Low crime in most areas
Cons:
- Limited dining options
- Lack of diversity
- Boring for young people
