Is Littleton still affordable?

Rent is about $1,731/month for a decent place. Homes are going for about $596,700 on average. Crime rate is something to consider -Littleton sits at 88.1 per 100K. It's a a smaller city city with about 45,092 people. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Worth the trade-offs? It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a HR manager who relocated here from Charlotte about 15 years ago. The main reasons were school and cost of living.

Pros I've experienced:
- Good healthcare facilities
- Active local events and festivals
- Good airport with direct flights

Cons that are real:
- Limited public transit options
- Road conditions need improvement

Financially, we've found it hit or miss compared to where we came from. Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. Groceries are reasonable, gas is excellent.

Socially, it's exactly what I was looking for. Would recommend to anyone considering it..
