Hi all, Military spouse here. Homes are going for about $398,000 on average. Crime rate is something to consider -Plainfield sits at 123.1 per 100K. With a population of 45,705, Plainfield is a smaller city. Poverty rate is 2.6%, which is pretty low. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Worth the trade-offs? The food scene here is surprisingly good. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.
