Household incomes average around $96,188 in Tuckahoe. Rent is about $1,479/month for a decent place. The suburbs are where most families end up. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. What would you do? Thanks in advance! It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.
