I work in consulting and The unemployment rate is 1.3%, which is pretty low. Poverty rate is 2.0%, which is pretty low. The city has invested a lot in new development. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Cheers. The suburbs are where most families end up. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The suburbs are where most families end up. The suburbs are where most families end up.

I've lived in Eastside for about 6 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it's been a really good experience overall. When I first moved here from Tampa, I was surprised by public transit. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Decent public transit for the size
- Strong job market in several industries
- The weather scene is excellent
The downsides:
- Nightlife is limited
- Road conditions need improvement
Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for couples. Would recommend to anyone considering it..

From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are pretty good, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.
