Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem better than expected.

I've been here 15 years and it's exactly what I was looking for. The thing nobody mentions is weather. It's established and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the food scene is legit. And if you're into kayaking, this place is pretty good.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Westside side vs the Midtown side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

I've lived in South for about 11 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

I have mixed feelings honestly. When I first moved here from Baltimore, I was surprised by cultural scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Good schools in most areas
- Decent public transit for the size
- The housing market scene is better than expected

The downsides:
- Nightlife is limited
- Limited shopping options

Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for couples. Would recommend to anyone considering it..
