Worst things about Lykens nobody talks about
Not sure if this has been asked before, but My partner and I are Rent is about $879/month for a decent place. Poverty rate is 13.6%, which is around average. The median home value here is around $101,300, which is actually reasonable. With a population of 1,830, Lykens is a small town. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods.
Pros:
- Friendly people
- Close to nature
- Easy commute
- Walkable downtown
Cons:
- Sprawl everywhere
- Lack of diversity
- Poor road conditions
Any help is appreciated. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The suburbs are where most families end up. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The city has invested a lot in new development. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The suburbs are where most families end up.
