Is it worth buying in McMinnville?

I'm single, late 50s, and Household incomes average around $43,348 in McMinnville. Average temperature is around 60--F, so the weather is moderate. Median household income is $43,348, which feels on the lower side for the area. The median home value here is around $147,200, which is actually reasonable. The city has invested a lot in new development. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The food scene here is surprisingly good. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The city has invested a lot in new development. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Property taxes are high but you get good services. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting.

Public transit is challenging here. You'll probably need a car for most things. there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad.

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is outdoor recreation. it's improved dramatically in recent years. Worth doing your research before committing.

Weather-wise, the summers are challenging and winters are pricey. You get used to it after the first year.
