Best and worst neighborhoods in Middletown
Not sure if this has been asked before, but I've been here for 10 years and It's a a smaller city city with about 47,646 people. Poverty rate is 7.8%, which is pretty low. With a population of 47,646, Middletown is a smaller city. Rent is about $1,392/month for a decent place. The unemployment rate is 2.8%, which is pretty low. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.
Pros:
- Low crime in most areas
- Good schools
- Plenty of shopping options
- Good airport connections
Cons:
- Hot summers
- Sprawl everywhere
- Not very walkable
- Chain restaurants dominate
- Homelessness issues downtown
