Anyone else feel this way? Would love some local perspective. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable.

I've lived in Meadowbrook for about 7 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 walkability. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Strong job market in several industries
- Close to major attractions
- The public transit scene is surprisingly good
The downsides:
- Not very walkable outside downtown
- Limited entertainment options
Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for families. No regrets on my end..

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 3 years ago from Minneapolis and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in Meadowbrook. It's excellent for what you get.
Jobs: The market is manageable right now, especially in government. If you're in marketing you might struggle.
People: Generally solid. It took about 17 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: surprisingly good. Tons of options if you like Indian.
Hope this helps!.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem hit or miss.
I've been here 12 years and I love the pace of life here. The thing nobody mentions is community vibe. It's competitive and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the healthcare is legit. And if you're into golfing, this place is underrated.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The The Heights side vs the Highland side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
