Raising a family in Marion -thoughts?
Hey everyone, The median home value here is around $145,300, which is actually reasonable. You can expect to pay around $878 for rent here. Rent is about $878/month for a decent place. Crime rate is something to consider -Marion sits at 260.0 per 100K. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The suburbs are where most families end up.
Pros:
- Low crime in most areas
- Good healthcare facilities
- Good airport connections
Cons:
- Lack of diversity
- Few job opportunities in some fields
- Poor road conditions
- Mosquitoes and humidity
- Homelessness issues downtown
Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The weather takes some getting used to. The food scene here is surprisingly good. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The weather takes some getting used to.
