What New Bedford does better than anywhere else
Been meaning to ask this. I work in tech and Homes are going for about $324,400 on average. Crime rate is something to consider -New Bedford sits at 663.8 per 100K. Median household income is $56,025, which feels about average for the area. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The food scene here is surprisingly good.
Pros:
- Affordable cost of living
- Nice parks and trails
- Good schools
- Close to nature
- Good healthcare facilities
Cons:
- Hot summers
- Cold winters
- Limited nightlife
- Homelessness issues downtown
