First post here. Crime rate is something to consider -Troy sits at 79.1 per 100K. You can expect to pay around $1,557 for rent here. Household incomes average around $119,299 in Troy. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level.

Pros:
- Good job market

- Close to nature

Cons:
- Traffic can be terrible
- Limited dining options
- Limited cultural events
