Is Hanover still affordable?

Hello, I'm single, late 20s, and Crime rate is something to consider -Hanover sits at 235.6 per 100K. Household incomes average around $64,135 in Hanover. Poverty rate is 10.7%, which is around average. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The city has invested a lot in new development. The suburbs are where most families end up. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The weather takes some getting used to. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The food scene here is surprisingly good. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Property taxes are high but you get good services. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much.

Bought a house here in 2024 and it was the best decision I ever made. Property values have gone about the same since then.

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, it exceeded my expectations. Good luck with whatever you decide..

I've been living here for 9 years and I'd say it's not perfect but it works for me. The outdoor recreation is pretty good compared to other places I've lived. Overall Happy to answer more specific questions..
