Hello, Military spouse here. You can expect to pay around $1,300 for rent here. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. What would you do? The weather takes some getting used to.

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want public transit, then yeah this place is great. But if weather matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.

Public transit is hit or miss here. You'll probably need a car for most things. I love the pace of life here.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem tough.
I've been here 2 years and it's been a really good experience overall. The thing nobody mentions is job market. It's affordable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the walkability is legit. And if you're into surfing, this place is excellent.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Sunset side vs the East side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
