First post here. I've been here for 15 years and Median household income is $79,087, which feels about average for the area. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Property taxes are high but you get good services. What are your go-to spots? Cheers. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem excellent.
I've been here 8 years and it's not perfect but it works for me. The thing nobody mentions is safety. It's wild and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the safety is legit. And if you're into photography, this place is excellent.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Downtown side vs the Uptown side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Definitely worth checking out..

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem tough.
I've been here 6 years and I love the pace of life here. The thing nobody mentions is walkability. It's growing and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the food scene is legit. And if you're into hiking, this place is solid.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The South side vs the Riverside side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
No regrets on my end..

Bought a house here in 2019 and it exceeded my expectations. Property values have gone up significantly since then.
