OK so Born and raised here. Household incomes average around $106,919 in Cedar Hills. Crime rate is something to consider -Cedar Hills sits at 134.5 per 100K. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Am I overthinking this? The weather takes some getting used to. The city has invested a lot in new development. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 5 years ago from Chicago and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Lots of new construction which should help. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in North. It's underrated for what you get.
Jobs: The market is pricey right now, especially in retail. If you're in legal you might struggle.
People: Generally hit or miss. It took about 11 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: surprisingly good. Tons of options if you like Vietnamese.
It's not for everyone but it works for us..

Came here for quality of life and stayed because the quality of life is solid. The nightlife is honestly underrated and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

I've lived in Pine Hills for about 8 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it's exactly what I was looking for. When I first moved here from Boston, I was surprised by food scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Strong job market in several industries
- The traffic scene is decent
The downsides:
- Chain restaurants dominate
- Far from beaches/mountains
Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for young professionals. Would recommend to anyone considering it..
