Most overrated things about South Beloit
Longtime lurker here, I'm a remote worker and Crime rate is something to consider -South Beloit sits at 170.3 per 100K. Average temperature is around 49--F, so expect cold winters. It's a a small town city with about 7,930 people. Median household income is $81,836, which feels pretty solid for the area. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much.
Pros:
- Great weather
- Nice parks and trails
- Good schools
Cons:
- Traffic can be terrible
- Cold winters
- Mosquitoes and humidity
- Chain restaurants dominate
Should I be concerned? It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The city has invested a lot in new development.
