Housing in Markham compared to Orlando
So, I'm retired and Homes are going for about $144,400 on average. Poverty rate is 7.7%, which is pretty low. The median home value here is around $144,400, which is actually reasonable. Median household income is $60,272, which feels about average for the area. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.
Pros:
- Great weather
- Low taxes
- Good healthcare facilities
- Walkable downtown
Cons:
- Sprawl everywhere
- Few job opportunities in some fields
- Poor road conditions
- Far from major airports
- Chain restaurants dominate
