Is it worth buying in Haverhill?
Alright, I'm single, late 20s, and Rent is about $1,620/month for a decent place. The unemployment rate is 4.1%, which is about average. It's a a smaller city city with about 67,387 people. Median household income is $87,675, which feels pretty solid for the area. The city has invested a lot in new development. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. It's not perfect, but the community is solid.
Pros:
- Affordable cost of living
- Great weather
- Growing food scene
- Low crime in most areas
- Low taxes
Cons:
- Hot summers
- Cold winters
- Limited nightlife
- Sprawl everywhere
- High property taxes
What do you all think? Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Property taxes are high but you get good services. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The suburbs are where most families end up. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The weather takes some getting used to.
