Top 5 things I love about Taunton

Anyone else feel this way? My partner and I are It's a a smaller city city with about 59,719 people. You can expect to pay around $1,269 for rent here. Median household income is $79,715, which feels about average for the area. With a population of 59,719, Taunton is a smaller city. Crime rate is something to consider -Taunton sits at 380.5 per 100K. Property taxes are high but you get good services. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.

Pros:
- Friendly people
- Low taxes
- Plenty of shopping options

Cons:
- Sprawl everywhere
- High property taxes
- Few job opportunities in some fields
- Poor road conditions
It's not perfect, but the community is solid. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Property taxes are high but you get good services.

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. I love the pace of life here. Internet is tough in most areas.
