Most overrated things about Newport News
Anyone else feel this way? Been living here since 2016. Crime rate is something to consider — Newport News sits at 595.5 per 100K. The unemployment rate is 3.6%, which is pretty low. You can expect to pay around $1,285 for rent here. It's a a mid-size city city with about 185K people. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The food scene here is surprisingly good. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.
Pros:
- Good schools
- Close to nature
- Easy commute
Cons:
- Limited public transit
- Poor road conditions
- Not enough green space
