Unpopular opinion about Howard

Curious what people think. Crime rate is something to consider -Howard sits at 495.3 per 100K. With a population of 20,261, Howard is a small town. The median home value here is around $286,200, which seems about average. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The city has invested a lot in new development.

Pros:
- Affordable cost of living
- Walkable downtown
- Plenty of shopping options
- Good airport connections

Cons:
- Limited dining options
- High property taxes
- Lack of diversity
- Far from major airports

From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are pretty good, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem average.

I've been here 11 years and it's exactly what I was looking for. The thing nobody mentions is pet-friendliness. It's manageable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the nightlife is legit. And if you're into running, this place is pretty good.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The West side vs the Eastside side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

No regrets on my end..
