Hi all, You can expect to pay around $2,043 for rent here. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Is this normal for Hiram? Cheers. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The suburbs are where most families end up. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is housing market. it exceeded my expectations. Worth doing your research before committing.

I'm a physical therapist and I've found it was the best decision I ever made. The community is improving and there's always something going on.

I've lived in Old Town for about 5 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it was the best decision I ever made. When I first moved here from Raleigh, I was surprised by walkability. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Nice parks and green spaces
- The traffic scene is challenging
The downsides:
- Property taxes are high
- Bugs and humidity in summer
Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for couples. Good luck with whatever you decide..
