Used to live on the Eastside side, now on the Uptown side. Completely different vibe. I genuinely enjoy living here.

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is community vibe. I'm still on the fence after all this time. Worth doing your research before committing.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a HR manager who relocated here from Denver about 13 years ago. The main reasons were work and weather.

Pros I've experienced:
- Lots of new development happening
- Active local events and festivals
- Close to major attractions

Cons that are real:
- Rising rent and home prices
- Limited shopping options

Financially, we've found it excellent compared to where we came from. Lots of new construction which should help. Groceries are competitive, gas is solid.

Socially, it's been a really good experience overall. Good luck with whatever you decide..

Came here for cost of living and stayed because I have mixed feelings honestly. The public transit is honestly pretty good and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
