Peoria is underrated, change my mind
OK so I'm a nurse at the local hospital and With a population of 112K, Peoria is a mid-size city. Homes are going for about $149,500 on average. Household incomes average around $58,716 in Peoria. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The suburbs are where most families end up. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.
Pros:
- Growing food scene
- Low crime in most areas
- Easy commute
- Plenty of shopping options
- Active local events
Cons:
- Traffic can be terrible
- Cold winters
- Rising rent prices
- Limited nightlife
Any advice would be great. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The weather takes some getting used to. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.
