Cost of living reality check -New Kingman-Butler
Just moved here 5 months ago and You can expect to pay around $936 for rent here. Household incomes average around $42,604 in New Kingman-Butler. The unemployment rate is 1.6%, which is pretty low. Rent is about $936/month for a decent place. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The suburbs are where most families end up. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable.
Pros:
- Growing food scene
- Active local events
- Good airport connections
Cons:
- Limited public transit
- Rising rent prices
- High property taxes
- Poor road conditions
