Is Minnehaha still affordable?
OK so I've been here for 5 years and Poverty rate is 1.7%, which is pretty low. Crime rate is something to consider -Minnehaha sits at 342.1 per 100K. Median household income is $108,203, which feels pretty solid for the area. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.
Pros:
- Affordable cost of living
- Good internet infrastructure
- Good airport connections
Cons:
- Hot summers
- Cold winters
- Limited nightlife
- High property taxes
- Boring for young people

Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The suburbs are where most families end up. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.
