First time home buyer in Ossining
Not sure if this has been asked before, but I'm a nurse at the local hospital and Median household income is $100,997, which feels pretty solid for the area. With a population of 26,979, Ossining is a smaller city. Average temperature is around 49--F, so expect cold winters. You can expect to pay around $2,108 for rent here. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.
Pros:
- Low crime in most areas
- Lots of new development
- Walkable downtown
- Good internet infrastructure
Cons:
- Traffic can be terrible
- Sprawl everywhere
- Limited dining options
- Boring for young people
What neighborhoods would you suggest? Appreciate any input. The suburbs are where most families end up. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The weather takes some getting used to. Property taxes are high but you get good services. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.
