Cheapest neighborhoods in Raytown?
Hello, Average temperature is around 55--F, so expect cold winters. Crime rate is something to consider -Raytown sits at 691.3 per 100K. You can expect to pay around $1,213 for rent here. The unemployment rate is 3.5%, which is pretty low. Homes are going for about $162,000 on average. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Property taxes are high but you get good services. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.
Pros:
- Easy commute
- Walkable downtown
- Plenty of shopping options
Cons:
- Cold winters
- Not very walkable
- Lack of diversity
- Limited cultural events
- Chain restaurants dominate
