Is Spring still affordable?
Born and raised here. It's a a smaller city city with about 67,103 people. The unemployment rate is 3.9%, which is pretty low. Homes are going for about $221,300 on average. Crime rate is something to consider -Spring sits at 63.2 per 100K. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The weather takes some getting used to. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much.
Pros:
- Friendly people
- Low crime in most areas
- Good healthcare facilities
- Good internet infrastructure
Cons:
- Not very walkable
- High property taxes
- Limited cultural events
- Not enough green space
