So, I'm a teacher here and Homes are going for about $122,500 on average. With a population of 89,966, Trenton is a smaller city. Rent is about $1,224/month for a decent place. Poverty rate is 20.7%, which is higher than I expected. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Thanks! Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The suburbs are where most families end up. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Property taxes are high but you get good services. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods.
