Is Winfield a good place to live?
Not sure if this has been asked before, but I'm a nurse at the local hospital and Average temperature is around 50--F, so expect cold winters. Rent is about $1,981/month for a decent place. The unemployment rate is 3.1%, which is pretty low. With a population of 7,501, Winfield is a small town. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level.
Pros:
- Affordable cost of living
- Good schools
- Walkable downtown
Cons:
- Limited public transit
- Hot summers
- Cold winters
- Boring for young people
