Melville housing prices -when will it stop?
OK so I've been here for 2 years and You can expect to pay around $3,501 for rent here. The median home value here is around $778,400, which is pretty steep. The unemployment rate is 5.3%, which is about average. Rent is about $3,501/month for a decent place. With a population of 19,187, Melville is a small town. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood.
Pros:
- Close to nature
- Diverse community
- Good healthcare facilities
- Walkable downtown
- Active local events
Cons:
- Sprawl everywhere
- Limited dining options
- Lack of diversity
- Far from major airports
