- You can buy a lot of house for your money, even with the high property taxes.

The property taxes are really that high. As a % sure they’re up there, but as actual dollar amount they’re pretty reasonable. If Amherst were to have property values in line with other suburbs outside of major cities and the same tax level the dollar amount would be just as high but your mortgage would be double. If you look at the services you get in Amherst it’s a reasonable amount of money to ask for.
