Why I chose Salisbury over bigger cities
Been meaning to ask this. I work in retail and The median home value here is around $217,500, which is actually reasonable. Poverty rate is 14.8%, which is around average. You can expect to pay around $1,247 for rent here. The city has invested a lot in new development. The weather takes some getting used to. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.
Pros:
- Low taxes
- Good internet infrastructure
- Good airport connections
Cons:
- Hot summers
- Limited dining options
- Far from major airports
- Chain restaurants dominate
- Not enough green space
Thoughts? People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods.
