Housing in Port Orchard compared to Albuquerque
I relocated for work and The median home value here is around $492,000, which is pretty steep. You can expect to pay around $1,760 for rent here. Median household income is $81,472, which feels pretty solid for the area. It's a a small town city with about 16,398 people. With a population of 16,398, Port Orchard is a small town. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The food scene here is surprisingly good.
Pros:
- Nice parks and trails
- Low crime in most areas
- Close to nature
- Walkable downtown
- Good internet infrastructure
Cons:
- Cold winters
- Sprawl everywhere
- Not enough green space
