Pros and cons of Rockford after 11 years
Curious what people think. It's a a mid-size city city with about 148K people. The median home value here is around $120,900, which is actually reasonable. Household incomes average around $53,328 in Rockford. Homes are going for about $120,900 on average. The unemployment rate is 5.2%, which is about average. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Property taxes are high but you get good services.
Pros:
- Great weather
- Good job market
- Low crime in most areas
- Good schools
- Low taxes
Cons:
- Rising rent prices
- Boring for young people
- Mosquitoes and humidity
