Rent vs buy in Mankato -what makes sense?
Anyone else feel this way? Rent is about $1,089/month for a decent place. Homes are going for about $250,600 on average. With a population of 44,882, Mankato is a smaller city. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. It's not perfect, but the community is solid.
Pros:
- Good job market
- Nice parks and trails
- Strong sense of community
- Good internet infrastructure
- Good airport connections
Cons:
- Sprawl everywhere
- High property taxes
- Lack of diversity
- Far from major airports
Am I overthinking this? The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The weather takes some getting used to. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. 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.
