Best apartments in Lakewood under ?
Anyone else feel this way? I'm a teacher here and Crime rate is something to consider -Lakewood sits at 122.5 per 100K. Poverty rate is 6.1%, which is pretty low. You can expect to pay around $1,013 for rent here. The unemployment rate is 3.9%, which is pretty low. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The suburbs are where most families end up. Property taxes are high but you get good services.
Pros:
- Affordable cost of living
- Growing food scene
- Walkable downtown
- Good airport connections
Cons:
- Limited public transit
- Cold winters
- Limited dining options
- Limited cultural events
Am I overthinking this? The weather takes some getting used to. The weather takes some getting used to. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level.
