What I wish I knew before living in Williamstown
Hey everyone, I'm a nurse at the local hospital and Crime rate is something to consider -Williamstown sits at 304.9 per 100K. Rent is about $1,262/month for a decent place. Homes are going for about $255,000 on average. The median home value here is around $255,000, which seems about average. Average temperature is around 55--F, so expect cold winters. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The city has invested a lot in new development. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.
Pros:
- Great weather
- Friendly people
- Diverse community
- Plenty of shopping options
Cons:
- Limited public transit
- Limited nightlife
- Mosquitoes and humidity
- Limited cultural events
The food scene here is surprisingly good. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.
