Raising a family in Smoke Rise -thoughts?
I'm a 53-year-old firefighter and The unemployment rate is 6.3%, which is concerning. The median home value here is around $223,200, which is actually reasonable. Crime rate is something to consider -Smoke Rise sits at 343.9 per 100K. With a population of 1,469, Smoke Rise is a small town. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The city has invested a lot in new development. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.
Pros:
- Great weather
- Good schools
- Close to nature
- Low taxes
- Good healthcare facilities
Cons:
- Traffic can be terrible
- Hot summers
- Sprawl everywhere
- Poor road conditions
