Been meaning to ask this. I grew up here but left for a while. The median home value here is around $199,400, which is actually reasonable. You can expect to pay around $934 for rent here. Homes are going for about $199,400 on average. With a population of 26,716, Troy is a smaller city. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The city has invested a lot in new development. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Should I be concerned? Thanks for reading. The food scene here is surprisingly good. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods.

I've been living here for 10 years and I'd say I love the pace of life here. The cultural scene is tough compared to other places I've lived. Overall Hope this helps!.

I've lived in The Heights for about 14 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I genuinely enjoy living here. When I first moved here from Tampa, I was surprised by food scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Good healthcare facilities
- Four distinct seasons
- The walkability scene is tough
The downsides:
- Nightlife is limited
- Bugs and humidity in summer
Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for couples. Happy to answer more specific questions..
