Is it worth buying in West Pittston?
I'm retired and You can expect to pay around $846 for rent here. With a population of 4,645, West Pittston is a small town. Poverty rate is 10.3%, which is around average. The city has invested a lot in new development. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Property taxes are high but you get good services.
Pros:
- Friendly people
- Low taxes
- Strong sense of community
- Active local events
Cons:
- Cold winters
- Limited dining options
- Boring for young people
- Poor road conditions
- Not enough green space
