Best kept secrets of Prospect, OH
Been meaning to ask this. I'm a remote worker and The median home value here is around $162,100, which is actually reasonable. It's a a small town city with about 1,330 people. The unemployment rate is 2.2%, which is pretty low. Poverty rate is 5.8%, which is pretty low. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The food scene here is surprisingly good. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.
Pros:
- Good job market
- Good schools
- Walkable downtown
- Good airport connections
Cons:
- Limited public transit
- Hot summers
- Cold winters
- High property taxes
- Mosquitoes and humidity
