Is Pinole still affordable?
Been meaning to ask this. Just moved here 11 months ago and Average temperature is around 62--F, so the weather is moderate. Poverty rate is 4.0%, which is pretty low. Rent is about $2,738/month for a decent place. The unemployment rate is 2.1%, which is pretty low. Homes are going for about $697,100 on average. The suburbs are where most families end up. The food scene here is surprisingly good.
Pros:
- Great weather
- Friendly people
- Close to nature
- Lots of new development
- Good healthcare facilities
Cons:
- Limited public transit
- Boring for young people
- Limited cultural events
It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The suburbs are where most families end up. Property taxes are high but you get good services. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.

Public transit needs a lot of work honestly.
