Honest thoughts on life in Niagara Falls
I'm originally from Portland and Average temperature is around 49--F, so expect cold winters. The unemployment rate is 5.7%, which is about average. The median home value here is around $104,400, which is actually reasonable. Poverty rate is 18.7%, which is higher than I expected. Homes are going for about $104,400 on average. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.
Pros:

- Close to nature
- Lots of new development
- Plenty of shopping options
Cons:
- Limited public transit
- Hot summers
- Sprawl everywhere
- Not very walkable
- Lack of diversity
