Why I chose Sherrelwood over bigger cities
Hey, Been living here since 2011. Median household income is $73,849, which feels about average for the area. Poverty rate is 9.3%, which is pretty low. Rent is about $1,627/month for a decent place. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood.
Pros:
- Diverse community
- Low taxes
- Easy commute
- Lots of new development
- Active local events
Cons:
- Sprawl everywhere
- Not very walkable
- High property taxes
- Mosquitoes and humidity
- Limited cultural events

Property taxes are high but you get good services. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The weather takes some getting used to. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The suburbs are where most families end up. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.
