OK so Born and raised here. Rent is about $769/month for a decent place. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Am I wrong here? Appreciate any input. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. It's not perfect, but the community is solid.

Used to live on the Lakewood side, now on the Riverside side. Completely different vibe. I have mixed feelings honestly.

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. it was the best decision I ever made. Internet is hit or miss in most areas.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem hit or miss.
I've been here 11 years and I love the pace of life here. The thing nobody mentions is weather. It's reasonable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the job market is legit. And if you're into hiking, this place is pretty good.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Sunset side vs the Riverside side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
