Things that make Rome unique
Hey, Born and raised here. Household incomes average around $58,857 in Rome. You can expect to pay around $871 for rent here. With a population of 31,795, Rome is a smaller city. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable.
Pros:
- Growing food scene
- Good schools
- Lots of new development
- Good airport connections
Cons:
- Sprawl everywhere
- High property taxes
- Chain restaurants dominate
- Not enough green space
