What I wish I knew before living in Taunton
Alright, My family moved here when I was a kid. Household incomes average around $79,715 in Taunton. Homes are going for about $388,200 on average. Crime rate is something to consider -Taunton sits at 380.5 per 100K. Poverty rate is 9.7%, which is pretty low. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods.
Pros:
- Affordable cost of living
- Great weather
- Friendly people
- Good schools
- Active local events
Cons:
- Limited dining options
- Boring for young people
- Limited cultural events
- Not enough green space
