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

I've been here 6 years and it exceeded my expectations. The thing nobody mentions is public transit. It's manageable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the community vibe is legit. And if you're into mountain biking, this place is average.

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

Good luck with whatever you decide..

I've lived in East for about 4 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. When I first moved here from Tampa, I was surprised by school system. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- Strong job market in several industries
- The food scene scene is improving

The downsides:
- Nightlife is limited
- Far from beaches/mountains

Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for families. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..
