What's it really like living in Rome?

Hey folks, Homes are going for about $137,200 on average. Median household income is $58,857, which feels about average for the area. Crime rate is something to consider -Rome sits at 168.7 per 100K. Rent is about $871/month for a decent place. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus.

Pros:
- Friendly people
- Diverse community
- Low taxes
- Good internet infrastructure
- Active local events

Cons:
- Not very walkable
- Mosquitoes and humidity
- Limited cultural events
