Raising a family in Mission -thoughts?
Curious what people think. You can expect to pay around $1,181 for rent here. With a population of 9,928, Mission is a small town. Rent is about $1,181/month for a decent place. Median household income is $74,396, which feels about average for the area. Crime rate is something to consider -Mission sits at 25.1 per 100K. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The city has invested a lot in new development. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods.
Pros:
- Affordable cost of living
- Good schools
- Active local events
Cons:
- Limited public transit
- High property taxes
- Few job opportunities in some fields
Thoughts? The food scene here is surprisingly good. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Property taxes are high but you get good services.
