Not really because to coin a phrase, "The rent is too **** high"... our workforce is being taxed out of the local area.
I hope this translates but an 800sqft 2bed 1 bath apartment is $1400/mo
We got lucky and have a 3br 2 bath 1000sqft for $1150
My sister-in-law when they were here had the cheapest house rent in the town - $650/ mo for 2 br 1 bath about 950sq ft re-joined duplex and a huge "back 40" yard. So big they raised chickens
It was since sold out from under them, upgraded and now rents for $1,500/mo
A 900sq ft house is for sale down the road from us - 2 br 1 bath, hot water heater exposed under the microwave in the kitchen...washer hookup in the bathroom with a hole in the floor for the dryer - $225,000
Tax here is $0.28/ $100 value - but the values they assess is ridiculous.
"Grandma's house" in the 60's may have been $15K here but with moderate upgrades and good upkeep is well over $400,000 now.
