Manchester quality of life -am I missing something?
Hey folks, Military spouse here. Poverty rate is 4.4%, which is pretty low. Rent is about $1,329/month for a decent place. Average temperature is around 54--F, so expect cold winters. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The suburbs are where most families end up.
Pros:
- Affordable cost of living
- Low taxes
- Easy commute
- Walkable downtown
Cons:
- Traffic can be terrible
- Cold winters
- Homelessness issues downtown
