What surprised you most about Polson?
Curious what people think. I've been here for 17 years and Rent is about $921/month for a decent place. It's a a small town city with about 5,334 people. Median household income is $51,463, which feels on the lower side for the area. With a population of 5,334, Polson is a small town. Crime rate is something to consider -Polson sits at 512.3 per 100K. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The food scene here is surprisingly good. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.
Pros:
- Great weather
- Good job market
- Nice parks and trails
- Growing food scene
- Good internet infrastructure
Cons:
- Cold winters
- Limited dining options
- Few job opportunities in some fields
- Limited cultural events
- Homelessness issues downtown
Worth the trade-offs? The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The food scene here is surprisingly good. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much.
