Rent in Oak Island getting crazy
OK so I've been here for 19 years and Crime rate is something to consider -Oak Island sits at 182.0 per 100K. Homes are going for about $407,400 on average. Household incomes average around $83,483 in Oak Island. With a population of 8,888, Oak Island is a small town. You can expect to pay around $1,208 for rent here. The city has invested a lot in new development. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Property taxes are high but you get good services.
Pros:
- Good job market
- Growing food scene
- Good schools
- Close to nature
Cons:
- Traffic can be terrible
- Hot summers
- Limited dining options
- Mosquitoes and humidity
