Rent in Troy getting crazy
Hey folks, It's a a smaller city city with about 87,307 people. Household incomes average around $119,299 in Troy. Average temperature is around 51--F, so expect cold winters. The median home value here is around $396,800, which seems about average. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The weather takes some getting used to. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.
Pros:
- Affordable cost of living
- Good job market
- Nice parks and trails
- Lots of new development
Cons:
- Hot summers
- Not very walkable
- Poor road conditions
- Chain restaurants dominate
- Homelessness issues downtown
Any advice would be great. Any help is appreciated. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly.
