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

I've been living here for 3 years and I'd say I genuinely enjoy living here. The walkability is surprisingly good compared to other places I've lived. Overall Would recommend to anyone considering it..
