Anyone else feel this way? Born and raised here. Homes are going for about $189,600 on average. Household incomes average around $53,962 in Plattsburgh. Median household income is $53,962, which feels on the lower side for the area. Crime rate is something to consider -Plattsburgh sits at 185.9 per 100K. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The suburbs are where most families end up. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.

Pros:
- Growing food scene
- Good schools
- Easy commute
- Plenty of shopping options

Cons:
- Limited public transit
- Rising rent prices
- Limited cultural events
Cheers. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The city has invested a lot in new development. The city has invested a lot in new development. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods.
