Hi all, I'm a nurse at the local hospital and The median home value here is around $176,600, which is actually reasonable. Household incomes average around $39,873 in Mount Airy. Median household income is $39,873, which feels on the lower side for the area. Average temperature is around 53--F, so expect cold winters. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. What do you all think? Appreciate any input. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The weather takes some getting used to.

Weather-wise, the summers are decent and winters are established. You get used to it after the first year.

Used to live on the West side, now on the South side. Completely different vibe. I love the pace of life here.

Came here for retirement and stayed because it's been a really good experience overall. The traffic is honestly solid and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, it's not perfect but it works for me. Hope this helps!.
