Rent in Silver Spring getting crazy
Been meaning to ask this. Crime rate is something to consider -Silver Spring sits at 356.2 per 100K. Median household income is $98,880, which feels pretty solid for the area. Rent is about $1,899/month for a decent place. Homes are going for about $619,400 on average. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The city has invested a lot in new development. The suburbs are where most families end up.
Pros:
- Great weather
- Good job market
- Good healthcare facilities
- Walkable downtown
Cons:
- Cold winters
- Rising rent prices
- Limited nightlife
- Homelessness issues downtown
