Is Shelton a good place to live?
OK so I grew up here but left for a while. With a population of 41,402, Shelton is a smaller city. The unemployment rate is 3.5%, which is pretty low. It's a a smaller city city with about 41,402 people. Crime rate is something to consider -Shelton sits at 53.3 per 100K. You can expect to pay around $1,661 for rent here. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Property taxes are high but you get good services. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The weather takes some getting used to. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.
Pros:
- Friendly people
- Nice parks and trails
- Low taxes
- Walkable downtown
- Plenty of shopping options
Cons:
- Cold winters
- Limited nightlife
- Not very walkable
