What's it really like living in Syracuse?
First post here. You can expect to pay around $644 for rent here. Average temperature is around 51--F, so expect cold winters. With a population of 1,964, Syracuse is a small town. Homes are going for about $190,000 on average. Median household income is $70,625, which feels about average for the area. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.
Pros:
- Friendly people
- Strong sense of community
- Good internet infrastructure
- Active local events
Cons:
- Limited public transit
- Not very walkable
- Poor road conditions
