Biggest downsides of living in Princeton?
Longtime lurker here, The median home value here is around $386,000, which seems about average. Poverty rate is 10.0%, which is pretty low. With a population of 41,476, Princeton is a smaller city. Median household income is $82,130, which feels pretty solid for the area. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The food scene here is surprisingly good.
Pros:
- Close to nature
- Low taxes
- Good healthcare facilities
- Walkable downtown
Cons:
- Cold winters
- Not very walkable
- Lack of diversity
- Boring for young people
