Our Take
Aberdeen offers decent schools and low flood risk, but its high home price relative to income, low walkability, and limited amenities make it a cautious choice for those looking for an active lifestyle. It may work for people who prefer a quiet rural setting and can handle the lack of public transit and dining options.
