Affordable areas near Hightstown?

Not sure if this has been asked before, but Military spouse here. Homes are going for about $333,200 on average. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Has anyone dealt with this? Any help is appreciated. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.

I'm a chef and I've found there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. The community is decent and there's always something going on.

I've lived in The Heights for about 7 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it's not perfect but it works for me. When I first moved here from Pittsburgh, I was surprised by walkability. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Good healthcare facilities
- Affordable housing options
- The food scene scene is hit or miss

The downsides:
- Urban sprawl is real
- Property taxes are high

Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for couples. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
