Our Take
This neighborhood has very low housing costs but a very low median income and high rent relative to earnings. It lacks walkability, has limited amenities, and requires expensive roof maintenance because of coastal conditions. If you’re a renter on a tight budget, you might find a deal here, but for families or long‑term stability it’s a risk.
