Isla Vista housing prices -when will it stop?
Random thought, Just moved here 10 months ago and With a population of 13,717, Isla Vista is a small town. It's a a small town city with about 13,717 people. Median household income is $24,428, which feels on the lower side for the area. You can expect to pay around $1,856 for rent here. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The city has invested a lot in new development. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much.
Pros:
- Good job market
- Nice parks and trails
- Low taxes
- Strong sense of community
- Walkable downtown
Cons:
- Not very walkable
- Limited dining options
- High property taxes
- Few job opportunities in some fields
