Kennewick quality of life -am I missing something?
Longtime lurker here, Born and raised here. You can expect to pay around $1,199 for rent here. Homes are going for about $343,600 on average. Median household income is $72,867, which feels about average for the area. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much.
Pros:
- Friendly people
- Good healthcare facilities
- Good internet infrastructure
Cons:
- Rising rent prices
- Limited cultural events
- Homelessness issues downtown
