Hot take but the quality of life is solid. I know a lot of people disagree but after 10 years here, that's my honest assessment.

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, it's exactly what I was looking for. It's not for everyone but it works for us..

Bought a house here in 2020 and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Property values have gone up a bit since then.

My experience has been mostly positive. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. The only thing I'd watch out for is traffic. Other than that, Good luck with whatever you decide..

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want cost of living, then yeah this place is great. But if safety matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 7 years ago from Minneapolis and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in Fairview. It's excellent for what you get.
Jobs: The market is developing right now, especially in manufacturing. If you're in healthcare you might struggle.
People: Generally underrated. It took about 7 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: improving. Tons of options if you like BBQ.
Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 2-bedroom. the quality of life is solid. Compared to Charlotte it's surprisingly good.

I've lived in Uptown for about 4 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it exceeded my expectations. When I first moved here from Houston, I was surprised by traffic. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Good schools in most areas
- Lots of new development happening
- The walkability scene is decent
The downsides:
- Traffic during rush hour is rough
- Homeless population growing downtown
Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for retirees. Would recommend to anyone considering it..
