Raising a family in Laurinburg -thoughts?
Anyone else feel this way? I've been here for 17 years and It's a a small town city with about 15,079 people. Homes are going for about $121,500 on average. The median home value here is around $121,500, which is actually reasonable. You can expect to pay around $766 for rent here. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.
Pros:
- Friendly people
- Good schools
- Close to nature
- Easy commute
Cons:
- Traffic can be terrible
- Hot summers
- Rising rent prices
- Not very walkable
- Not enough green space
Looking forward to hearing from you all. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The suburbs are where most families end up. Property taxes are high but you get good services. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The food scene here is surprisingly good. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The weather takes some getting used to.
