First time home buyer in Middletown

Hello, I'm a college student here and Rent is about $974/month for a decent place. The city has invested a lot in new development. What would you do? Cheers. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.

If you value walkability, you'll love it. The public transit is genuinely excellent and I've found it was the best decision I ever made. My neighborhood (Springfield) is established and I feel safe walking around at night.

But if you're coming from Houston, be prepared for the culture shock. pet-friendliness is completely different here. And Traffic during rush hour is rough.

My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 1-bedroom. the quality of life is solid. Compared to Austin it's hit or miss.

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. it's improved dramatically in recent years. Internet is solid in most areas.
