Anyone else feel this way? Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable.

I've lived in Pine Hills for about 12 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. When I first moved here from Raleigh, I was surprised by healthcare. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Active local events and festivals
- Close to major attractions
- The dating scene scene is improving
The downsides:
- Winters are long and cold
- Can feel isolated
Overall I'd rate it 8/10 for retirees. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 8 years ago from Houston and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: The market is competitive but not impossible. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Highland. It's better than expected for what you get.
Jobs: The market is developing right now, especially in hospitality. If you're in government you might struggle.
People: Generally tough. It took about 18 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: surprisingly good. Tons of options if you like Italian.
Definitely worth checking out..

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 5 years ago from Seattle and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in West. It's pretty good for what you get.
Jobs: The market is developing right now, especially in tech. If you're in finance you might struggle.
People: Generally pretty good. It took about 16 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: underrated. Tons of options if you like Italian.
