Unpopular opinion about Medford
I'm originally from St. Louis and Median household income is $128,631, which feels pretty solid for the area. Homes are going for about $444,500 on average. The median home value here is around $444,500, which is pretty steep. Average temperature is around 52--F, so expect cold winters. Rent is about $2,404/month for a decent place. The city has invested a lot in new development. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The weather takes some getting used to. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.
Pros:
- Affordable cost of living
- Friendly people
- Good schools
Cons:
- Traffic can be terrible
- Hot summers
- Lack of diversity
