Cheapest neighborhoods in Yorktown?
Curious what people think. Military spouse here. It's a a small town city with about 11,617 people. Median household income is $81,765, which feels pretty solid for the area. Poverty rate is 3.1%, which is pretty low. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.
Pros:
- Growing food scene
- Close to nature
- Lots of new development
- Strong sense of community
- Good internet infrastructure
Cons:
- Rising rent prices
- Limited nightlife
- Lack of diversity
- Chain restaurants dominate
- Homelessness issues downtown
