Cost of living reality check -Smyrna
Hey everyone, I'm single, late 20s, and Poverty rate is 8.3%, which is pretty low. Average temperature is around 58--F, so the weather is moderate. Rent is about $1,366/month for a decent place. It's a a smaller city city with about 55,066 people. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus.
Pros:
- Friendly people
- Good schools
- Low taxes
- Good healthcare facilities
- Walkable downtown
Cons:
- Traffic can be terrible
- Hot summers
- Boring for young people
