Housing market in Middletown right now
Curious what people think. I'm retired and Average temperature is around 51--F, so expect cold winters. It's a a smaller city city with about 47,646 people. You can expect to pay around $1,392 for rent here. Crime rate is something to consider -Middletown sits at 82.7 per 100K. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.
Pros:
- Low crime in most areas
- Close to nature
- Diverse community
- Active local events
- Good airport connections
Cons:
- Rising rent prices
- Not very walkable
- Few job opportunities in some fields
