Is Reisterstown still affordable?

Curious what people think. I'm a 47-year-old chef and The unemployment rate is 6.5%, which is concerning. The median home value here is around $332,300, which seems about average. Rent is about $1,599/month for a decent place. The food scene here is surprisingly good. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.

Pros:
- Growing food scene
- Low crime in most areas
- Close to nature
- Diverse community
- Walkable downtown

Cons:
- Cold winters
- Lack of diversity
- Chain restaurants dominate
Has anyone dealt with this? Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The weather takes some getting used to. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly.

The food scene here is excellent. Tons of great Korean places. I'm still on the fence after all this time.

I'm a real estate agent and I've found I'm still on the fence after all this time. The community is excellent and there's always something going on.
