Hi Darren, Ii first moved to GH in 1983, it was the cute, quaint village town. After decades of growth, it is sad how the city officials grew the town and not the infrastructure. I moved out of state and decided to come back in march 2022 and into the harbor at a 55+ community off the Cushman trail. Which was a huge mistake! I found the traffic, highway noise, emergency vehicle sirens going off all the time and just the overall mood of the town has changed. Traffic is insane, people are not considerate any longer. Expensive? YES! The city charges you for water and sewer service AND they tax you on it, natural gas and electric is extreme. IMO, in order to avoid this, you have to be able to buy a home over $ 1.5 million and live outside of the city. Crime?? I have a close friend with a gift shop in downtown, she said this was the worse shopping season due to inflation and customers tell her they are afraid to come out and shop after dark.
Actually., I will probably skip that one. That is a subject that everyone has their own views on and philosophies. I may or may not see any impact, but others may see if very differently.
@@livingingigharbor I asked that question back when we lived in NM. We live in Port Orchard now. Gig Harbor is awesome and we love it. I will take my Wife to “Anthony’s” soon 🥰🙏
Lived in Gig Harbor my whole life. Houses are gold mines. My parents paid $89,000 in 1985. Just sold for over $600,000 in 2022. Invest in real estate and get rich.
