Police officers aren't exactly high income.

I'd expect living next to a cop to be cheaper, not more expensive.

I just looked it up, police officers in this area will make 70k first year up to 100k or more depending on experience, etc.

The point is that here, a 70k salary is easily good enough to buy a nice house in a nice neighborhood.

Are there nicer houses in nicer neighborhoods? We have a lot of old money here, gated mansions with groundskeepers, and so forth.

That wasn't my point.
