Pros and cons of Somersworth after 10 years
We have two kids and Homes are going for about $295,800 on average. The median home value here is around $295,800, which seems about average. The unemployment rate is 1.7%, which is pretty low. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The suburbs are where most families end up. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.
Pros:
- Friendly people
- Low taxes
- Lots of new development
Cons:
- Traffic can be terrible
- Not very walkable
- High property taxes
- Limited cultural events
- Chain restaurants dominate
