Raising a family in Willmar -thoughts?
Hello, I'm retired and Average temperature is around 44--F, so bundle up in winter. The median home value here is around $186,000, which is actually reasonable. Poverty rate is 10.9%, which is around average. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.
Pros:
- Growing food scene
- Easy commute
- Lots of new development
- Good airport connections
Cons:
- Cold winters
- Few job opportunities in some fields
- Mosquitoes and humidity
- Limited cultural events
