Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value nightlife, you'll love it. The job market is genuinely better than expected and I've found there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. My neighborhood (Old Town) is wild and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Baltimore, be prepared for the culture shock. dating scene is completely different here. And Not very walkable outside downtown.
My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.

Used to live on the Cedar Grove side, now on the West side. Completely different vibe. I have mixed feelings honestly.

I've been living here for 10 years and I'd say it's been a really good experience overall. The outdoor recreation is hit or miss compared to other places I've lived. Overall It's not for everyone but it works for us..
