What's it really like living in Homewood?
Hey folks, I work in energy and Average temperature is around 64--F, so the weather is moderate. Poverty rate is 3.7%, which is pretty low. Rent is about $1,457/month for a decent place. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The suburbs are where most families end up. The weather takes some getting used to.
Pros:
- Good job market
- Diverse community
- Lots of new development
- Active local events
Cons:
- Rising rent prices
- Far from major airports
- Limited cultural events
- Homelessness issues downtown
