Cost of living reality check -Hartford
Alright, Just moved here 17 months ago and The median home value here is around $65,800, which is actually reasonable. The unemployment rate is 3.4%, which is pretty low. Rent is about $925/month for a decent place. Poverty rate is 11.9%, which is around average. Median household income is $39,364, which feels on the lower side for the area. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.
Pros:
- Nice parks and trails
- Low taxes
- Good healthcare facilities
- Plenty of shopping options
Cons:
- Limited nightlife
- Lack of diversity
- Boring for young people
- Poor road conditions
- Far from major airports
