Living in Syracuse — the reality
So, We're a young couple and The unemployment rate is 4.2%, which is about average. Poverty rate is 24.2%, which is higher than I expected. You can expect to pay around $998 for rent here. The median home value here is around $125,100, which is actually reasonable. Household incomes average around $45,845 in Syracuse. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The suburbs are where most families end up.
Pros:
- Close to nature
- Diverse community
- Strong sense of community
- Good internet infrastructure
Cons:
- Hot summers
- Limited cultural events
- Homelessness issues downtown
