Johnston is underrated, change my mind
First post here. I'm a college student here and Crime rate is something to consider -Johnston sits at 127.7 per 100K. With a population of 24,196, Johnston is a small town. Homes are going for about $346,200 on average. The unemployment rate is 1.2%, which is pretty low. Rent is about $1,288/month for a decent place. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level.
Pros:
- Good schools
- Active local events
- Good airport connections
Cons:
- Limited dining options
- Few job opportunities in some fields
- Chain restaurants dominate
- Not enough green space
