Most overrated things about Kalispell
Anyone else feel this way? I work in government and Average temperature is around 43--F, so bundle up in winter. The median home value here is around $381,400, which seems about average. Rent is about $1,019/month for a decent place. Homes are going for about $381,400 on average. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The food scene here is surprisingly good.
Pros:
- Easy commute
- Lots of new development
- Plenty of shopping options
Cons:
- Rising rent prices
- Limited dining options
- Lack of diversity
- Poor road conditions
