Cost of living reality check -Manhattan
First post here. Born and raised here. Household incomes average around $58,441 in Manhattan. Crime rate is something to consider -Manhattan sits at 813.0 per 100K. Poverty rate is 13.5%, which is around average. Rent is about $1,019/month for a decent place. The suburbs are where most families end up. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus.
Pros:
- Affordable cost of living
- Nice parks and trails
- Low crime in most areas
- Good healthcare facilities
- Strong sense of community
Cons:
- Limited public transit
- Few job opportunities in some fields
- Limited cultural events
Let me know your thoughts. Cheers. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The city has invested a lot in new development. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.
