Pros and cons of Whitney after 2 years
Alright, Median household income is $63,480, which feels about average for the area. Rent is about $1,477/month for a decent place. With a population of 46,268, Whitney is a smaller city. The median home value here is around $299,700, which seems about average. Crime rate is something to consider -Whitney sits at 164.9 per 100K. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.
Pros:
- Nice parks and trails
- Easy commute
- Strong sense of community
- Active local events
Cons:
- Limited public transit
- Sprawl everywhere
- Lack of diversity
- Homelessness issues downtown
