Rent vs buy in Shelbyville -what makes sense?

Household incomes average around $52,290 in Shelbyville. Homes are going for about $224,700 on average. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Cheers. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus.

I've lived in North for about 6 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it's improved dramatically in recent years. When I first moved here from New York, I was surprised by public transit. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Nice parks and green spaces
- Strong job market in several industries
- The food scene scene is tough

The downsides:
- Rising rent and home prices
- Urban sprawl is real

Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for couples. Definitely worth checking out..

Bought a house here in 2024 and it exceeded my expectations. Property values have gone up a bit since then.
