First time home buyer in Rockfish
We have two kids and Homes are going for about $191,000 on average. Poverty rate is 14.6%, which is around average. Crime rate is something to consider -Rockfish sits at 426.9 per 100K. You can expect to pay around $1,236 for rent here. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The food scene here is surprisingly good.
Pros:
- Great weather
- Lots of new development
- Good internet infrastructure
- Active local events
Cons:
- Traffic can be terrible
- Limited public transit
- Sprawl everywhere
- Not very walkable
- Far from major airports
Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The suburbs are where most families end up. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus.

The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood.
