Rent vs buy in Woodland Park -what makes sense?
Hello, I'm a college student here and You can expect to pay around $1,971 for rent here. Median household income is $96,896, which feels pretty solid for the area. Average temperature is around 39--F, so bundle up in winter. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.
Pros:
- Friendly people
- Good schools
- Close to nature
- Low taxes
- Strong sense of community
Cons:
- Traffic can be terrible
- Rising rent prices
- Sprawl everywhere
- Few job opportunities in some fields
- Chain restaurants dominate
