Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, I have mixed feelings honestly. Definitely worth checking out..

I'm a data analyst and I've found the quality of life is solid. The community is surprisingly good and there's always something going on.

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

I've been here 9 years and it's exactly what I was looking for. The thing nobody mentions is job market. It's competitive and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the pet-friendliness is legit. And if you're into hiking, this place is challenging.

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

Hope this helps!.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 1 years ago from LA and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in Eastside. It's better than expected for what you get.

Jobs: The market is established right now, especially in hospitality. If you're in real estate you might struggle.

People: Generally challenging. It took about 11 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: excellent. Tons of options if you like Mexican.

Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..
