Is Methuen Town worth moving to in 2026?

Hey, With a population of 53,043, Methuen Town is a smaller city. Homes are going for about $472,200 on average. The median home value here is around $472,200, which is pretty steep. Poverty rate is 5.8%, which is pretty low. The suburbs are where most families end up. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Worth the trade-offs? TIA! Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The city has invested a lot in new development. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The food scene here is surprisingly good. 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.

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 1-bedroom. it's improved dramatically in recent years. Compared to Austin it's underrated.

Public transit is improving here. You'll probably need a car for most things. I'm still on the fence after all this time.
