Peru quality of life -am I missing something?
Hey everyone, I'm single, late 40s, and The unemployment rate is 2.0%, which is pretty low. Median household income is $69,671, which feels about average for the area. Homes are going for about $214,700 on average. Poverty rate is 4.0%, which is pretty low. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. It's not perfect, but the community is solid.
Pros:
- Affordable cost of living
- Close to nature
- Low taxes
- Strong sense of community
Cons:
- Lack of diversity
- Few job opportunities in some fields
- Far from major airports
- Limited cultural events
- Chain restaurants dominate
Anyone in a similar situation? Any help is appreciated. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The weather takes some getting used to. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The city has invested a lot in new development. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.
