Life in Twentynine Palms as a young professional
Been meaning to ask this. My family moved here when I was a kid. Rent is about $1,271/month for a decent place. Homes are going for about $238,400 on average. Crime rate is something to consider -Twentynine Palms sits at 440.1 per 100K. The unemployment rate is 1.6%, which is pretty low. The median home value here is around $238,400, which is actually reasonable. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The suburbs are where most families end up. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much.
Pros:
- Friendly people
- Growing food scene
- Low crime in most areas
- Good schools
- Good airport connections
Cons:
- Sprawl everywhere
- Not very walkable
- Few job opportunities in some fields
- Homelessness issues downtown
What neighborhoods would you suggest? There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods.
