Affordable areas near Wheeling?
Been meaning to ask this. I relocated for work and The unemployment rate is 3.1%, which is pretty low. Poverty rate is 6.9%, which is pretty low. Median household income is $83,251, which feels pretty solid for the area. Crime rate is something to consider -Wheeling sits at 74.3 per 100K. You can expect to pay around $1,578 for rent here. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. It's not perfect, but the community is solid.
Pros:
- Great weather
- Diverse community
- Lots of new development
- Active local events
Cons:
- Traffic can be terrible
- Limited public transit
- Far from major airports
Thanks in advance! Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting.
