The good and bad of living in Wellington
I'm a college student here and Median household income is $110,294, which feels pretty solid for the area. It's a a smaller city city with about 61,497 people. The median home value here is around $557,100, which is pretty steep. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Property taxes are high but you get good services.
Pros:
- Easy commute
- Lots of new development
- Good internet infrastructure
- Good airport connections
Cons:
- High property taxes
- Few job opportunities in some fields
- Poor road conditions
- Limited cultural events
