Affordable areas near Rockaway?

OK so Poverty rate is 3.9%, which is pretty low. You can expect to pay around $1,496 for rent here. The city has invested a lot in new development.

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. I'm still on the fence after all this time. Internet is pretty good in most areas.

I'm a social worker and I've found it's exactly what I was looking for. The community is solid and there's always something going on.

I work in consulting here and it was the best decision I ever made. The job market for my field is hit or miss. Good luck with whatever you decide..

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a chef who relocated here from Salt Lake City about 3 years ago. The main reasons were retirement and weather.

Pros I've experienced:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Good internet infrastructure

Cons that are real:
- Limited public transit options
- Limited high-paying job options

Financially, we've found it tough compared to where we came from. If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. Groceries are growing, gas is excellent.

Socially, I'm still on the fence after all this time. It's not for everyone but it works for us..
