Day-to-day life in Johnson City, NY
Hey everyone, Military spouse here. You can expect to pay around $993 for rent here. Average temperature is around 46--F, so expect cold winters. Crime rate is something to consider -Johnson City sits at 659.8 per 100K. Rent is about $993/month for a decent place. The weather takes some getting used to. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.
Pros:
- Friendly people
- Nice parks and trails
- Good healthcare facilities
- Good airport connections
Cons:
- Traffic can be terrible
- Limited public transit
- Sprawl everywhere
- Limited dining options
- Lack of diversity
What neighborhoods would you suggest? Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The suburbs are where most families end up. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The weather takes some getting used to.
