Is Shelter Island still affordable?
I'm a teacher here and The unemployment rate is 3.2%, which is pretty low. The median home value here is around $1,019,000, which is pretty steep. The weather takes some getting used to. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.
Pros:
- Affordable cost of living
- Growing food scene
- Good schools
- Walkable downtown
- Plenty of shopping options
Cons:
- Limited dining options
- Lack of diversity
- Chain restaurants dominate
Am I wrong here? The city has invested a lot in new development. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.
