Raising a family in Howard -thoughts?
Been meaning to ask this. I'm originally from Portland and Rent is about $1,053/month for a decent place. Poverty rate is 3.7%, which is pretty low. The unemployment rate is 1.3%, which is pretty low. Median household income is $84,896, which feels pretty solid for the area. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The city has invested a lot in new development. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly.
Pros:
- Close to nature
- Diverse community
- Active local events
Cons:
- Cold winters
- Limited dining options
- Boring for young people
- Poor road conditions
- Not enough green space
