Living in Mount Vernon -the reality
Anyone else feel this way? My family moved here when I was a kid. Homes are going for about $89,700 on average. You can expect to pay around $893 for rent here. The unemployment rate is 5.1%, which is about average. Household incomes average around $52,751 in Mount Vernon. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The city has invested a lot in new development. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The suburbs are where most families end up. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.
Pros:
- Great weather
- Friendly people
- Nice parks and trails
- Good schools
- Good internet infrastructure
Cons:
- Traffic can be terrible
- Limited public transit
- Sprawl everywhere
- Limited dining options
- High property taxes
