Is Paris a good place to live?
So, I've been here for 1 years and The unemployment rate is 0.8%, which is pretty low. Homes are going for about $142,700 on average. Median household income is $39,365, which feels on the lower side for the area. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus.
Pros:
- Good job market
- Close to nature
- Walkable downtown
Cons:
- Limited nightlife
- Sprawl everywhere
- Chain restaurants dominate
- Not enough green space
