Cost of living reality check -Socorro
Hey, I'm originally from Raleigh and Homes are going for about $131,200 on average. Household incomes average around $52,100 in Socorro. You can expect to pay around $1,036 for rent here. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.
Pros:
- Good job market
- Friendly people
- Growing food scene
- Low crime in most areas
- Easy commute
Cons:
- High property taxes
- Boring for young people
- Chain restaurants dominate
