Random thought, I work in insurance and The median home value here is around $506,400, which is pretty steep. Poverty rate is 1.4%, which is pretty low. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Am I overthinking this? People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.

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

I've lived in Eastside for about 8 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I have mixed feelings honestly. When I first moved here from Salt Lake City, I was surprised by job market. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- The cultural scene scene is decent
The downsides:
- Summers can be brutally hot
- Far from beaches/mountains
Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for families. No regrets on my end..

Bought a house here in 2019 and I love the pace of life here. Property values have gone up significantly since then.
