Rent vs buy in Seabrook -what makes sense?
Hey, Rent is about $1,445/month for a decent place. Median household income is $109,489, which feels pretty solid for the area. Homes are going for about $332,000 on average. It's a a small town city with about 13,617 people. Crime rate is something to consider -Seabrook sits at 136.9 per 100K. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Property taxes are high but you get good services.
Pros:
- Good job market
- Good schools
- Diverse community
- Low taxes
- Good airport connections
Cons:
- Cold winters
- Sprawl everywhere
- Not very walkable
