Things Washington needs to improve
First post here. Median household income is $94,015, which feels pretty solid for the area. The median home value here is around $511,100, which is pretty steep. Crime rate is something to consider -Washington sits at 99.8 per 100K. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The suburbs are where most families end up. It's not perfect, but the community is solid.
Pros:
- Affordable cost of living
- Low taxes
- Strong sense of community
Cons:
- Rising rent prices
- Not very walkable
- Poor road conditions
- Homelessness issues downtown
Let me know your thoughts. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Property taxes are high but you get good services. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much.
