Mount Vernon housing prices -when will it stop?
Curious what people think. My family moved here when I was a kid. Household incomes average around $73,277 in Mount Vernon. Homes are going for about $429,300 on average. You can expect to pay around $1,255 for rent here. Crime rate is something to consider -Mount Vernon sits at 151.6 per 100K. Median household income is $73,277, which feels about average for the area. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.
Pros:
- Low crime in most areas
- Easy commute
- Lots of new development
- Good internet infrastructure
Cons:
- Traffic can be terrible
- Limited dining options
- High property taxes
- Far from major airports
- Homelessness issues downtown
Am I wrong here? Looking forward to hearing from you all. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The city has invested a lot in new development. The city has invested a lot in new development. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The suburbs are where most families end up. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Property taxes are high but you get good services.
