What I wish I knew before living in Johnson City
Curious what people think. I relocated for work and The median home value here is around $238,000, which is actually reasonable. The unemployment rate is 3.7%, which is pretty low. Median household income is $55,429, which feels about average for the area. Rent is about $957/month for a decent place. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.
Pros:
- Great weather
- Lots of new development
- Walkable downtown
- Good internet infrastructure
- Plenty of shopping options
Cons:
- Limited public transit
- Sprawl everywhere
- Not very walkable
- High property taxes

Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly.
