Anyone else feel this way? Night life is decent if you know the right spots.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem tough.

I've been here 4 years and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. The thing nobody mentions is outdoor recreation. It's growing and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the healthcare is legit. And if you're into golfing, this place is improving.

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

Definitely worth checking out..

My experience has been mostly positive. I love the pace of life here. The only thing I'd watch out for is pet-friendliness. Other than that, No regrets on my end..

I've lived in Downtown for about 3 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

I have mixed feelings honestly. When I first moved here from Minneapolis, I was surprised by pet-friendliness. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Good schools in most areas
- Close to major attractions
- The cultural scene scene is average

The downsides:
- Chain restaurants dominate
- Limited shopping options

Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for singles. It's not for everyone but it works for us..
