Rent vs buy in Parlier -what makes sense?
Alright, I relocated for work and Poverty rate is 27.1%, which is higher than I expected. The unemployment rate is 6.7%, which is concerning. It's a a small town city with about 14,545 people. Rent is about $1,059/month for a decent place. Homes are going for about $236,100 on average. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.
Pros:
- Great weather
- Friendly people
- Nice parks and trails
- Good schools
- Walkable downtown
Cons:
- Limited public transit
- Limited dining options
- Few job opportunities in some fields
- Far from major airports
- Not enough green space
Any help is appreciated. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The city has invested a lot in new development. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.
