Raising a family in Shrewsbury -thoughts?
Hey everyone, Poverty rate is 4.0%, which is pretty low. Rent is about $1,143/month for a decent place. Average temperature is around 58--F, so the weather is moderate. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood.
Pros:
- Affordable cost of living
- Great weather
- Friendly people
- Good healthcare facilities
- Walkable downtown
Cons:
- Poor road conditions
- Limited cultural events
- Chain restaurants dominate

I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The suburbs are where most families end up. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much.
