Rent vs buy in Terrace Heights -what makes sense?
Been meaning to ask this. We're a young couple and The unemployment rate is 0.9%, which is pretty low. Median household income is $79,525, which feels about average for the area. Crime rate is something to consider -Terrace Heights sits at 26.4 per 100K. Average temperature is around 49--F, so expect cold winters. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.
Pros:
- Affordable cost of living
- Good schools
- Diverse community
- Walkable downtown
- Good airport connections
Cons:
- Limited cultural events
- Homelessness issues downtown
- Not enough green space
