Worst things about Whittier nobody talks about
Anyone else feel this way? Military spouse here. Rent is about $1,829/month for a decent place. Homes are going for about $751,700 on average. It's a a smaller city city with about 85,925 people. Household incomes average around $92,374 in Whittier. Crime rate is something to consider -Whittier sits at 247.2 per 100K. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The suburbs are where most families end up. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.
Pros:
- Great weather
- Diverse community
- Strong sense of community
- Plenty of shopping options
Cons:
- Not very walkable
- Limited dining options
- High property taxes
- Far from major airports
What would you do? Thanks for reading. The weather takes some getting used to. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The weather takes some getting used to. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much.
