Longtime lurker here, Homes are going for about $726,000 on average. Crime rate is something to consider -Draper sits at 140.5 per 100K. You can expect to pay around $1,812 for rent here. Rent is about $1,812/month for a decent place. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Thoughts? Night life is decent if you know the right spots. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The weather takes some getting used to.

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is job market. I genuinely enjoy living here. Worth doing your research before committing.

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 4-bedroom. I love the pace of life here. Compared to New York it's better than expected.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value cost of living, you'll love it. The community vibe is genuinely average and I've found I genuinely enjoy living here. My neighborhood (Uptown) is affordable and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Houston, be prepared for the culture shock. pet-friendliness is completely different here. And Homeless population growing 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.
