Most overrated things about East Lake
You can expect to pay around $1,844 for rent here. It's a a smaller city city with about 33,019 people. Crime rate is something to consider -East Lake sits at 108.4 per 100K. Poverty rate is 4.7%, which is pretty low. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The weather takes some getting used to.
Pros:
- Nice parks and trails
- Growing food scene
- Close to nature
Cons:
- Sprawl everywhere
- Few job opportunities in some fields
- Limited cultural events
Am I wrong here? I'd say it's better for families than young singles. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The suburbs are where most families end up. The suburbs are where most families end up. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood.
