Top 5 things I love about Ives Estates
Longtime lurker here, My family moved here when I was a kid. Poverty rate is 5.1%, which is pretty low. The unemployment rate is 4.0%, which is pretty low. Crime rate is something to consider -Ives Estates sits at 798.4 per 100K. With a population of 26,154, Ives Estates is a smaller city. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.
Pros:
- Growing food scene
- Low crime in most areas
- Walkable downtown
Cons:
- Cold winters
- Rising rent prices
- Sprawl everywhere
- Lack of diversity
- Boring for young people
