Hawthorne is underrated, change my mind
I'm a nurse at the local hospital and With a population of 85,933, Hawthorne is a smaller city. Median household income is $72,719, which feels about average for the area. The median home value here is around $813,700, which is pretty steep. Rent is about $1,723/month for a decent place. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The city has invested a lot in new development.
Pros:
- Nice parks and trails
- Close to nature
- Lots of new development
- Strong sense of community
Cons:
- Hot summers
- Limited dining options
- Lack of diversity
- Homelessness issues downtown
