Housing in Houghton compared to Seattle
I'm a nurse at the local hospital and Average temperature is around 41--F, so bundle up in winter. You can expect to pay around $861 for rent here. Household incomes average around $35,417 in Houghton. Rent is about $861/month for a decent place. It's a a small town city with about 8,341 people. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The weather takes some getting used to.
Pros:
- Affordable cost of living
- Growing food scene
- Low crime in most areas
- Lots of new development
- Strong sense of community
Cons:
- Sprawl everywhere
- Limited dining options
- Lack of diversity
- Limited cultural events
- Homelessness issues downtown

There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The suburbs are where most families end up. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The suburbs are where most families end up. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The food scene here is surprisingly good.
