Why I chose State College over bigger cities
Hey, Crime rate is something to consider -State College sits at 92.1 per 100K. Homes are going for about $414,400 on average. The median home value here is around $414,400, which is pretty steep. Median household income is $47,132, which feels on the lower side for the area. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Property taxes are high but you get good services. It's not perfect, but the community is solid.
Pros:
- Good job market
- Close to nature
- Diverse community
- Walkable downtown
- Plenty of shopping options
Cons:
- Limited public transit
- Hot summers
- Limited nightlife
- Lack of diversity
- Not enough green space
