I've lived in Uptown for about 10 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I have mixed feelings honestly. When I first moved here from LA, I was surprised by job market. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Good schools in most areas
- The cost of living scene is solid
The downsides:
- Rising rent and home prices
- Limited shopping options
Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for singles. Definitely worth checking out..
